  • This is the most disgusting kind of lie. Using someone as an icon of what they stand against. Misrepresenting someone like MLK to promote your racism and xenophobia is truly despicable.
  • @Elephantstonica
    "I criticize America because I love her. I want her to stand as a moral example to the world." - MLK That’s what patriotism should be. Not engaging in superficial acts such as hugging a flag, singing a racist song, pledging blind allegiance or by belittling those that take a peaceful stand, or knee, to protest perceived injustice by the state.
  • @ro4eva
    The MLK quote regarding the Berlin Wall was outstanding.
  • @ilove2929
    He and his rich friends can pay for the wall, it'll be a patriotic act.
  • @VB-dp1vs
    It is an insult to MLK to compare Trump to him
  • @223Drone
    Pence has no right to compare Trump to MLK since MLK didn't appeal to people's racism and/or xenophobia. (edited it was Pence who made the comparison)
  • @derekoliver5772
    Pence, one of the most un-Christian men to walk this Earth and I'm an atheist!!!
  • @grantgraham5828
    I quite literally threw up my guacamole when Pence compared Trump to MLK.
  • @ichifish
    "For here on either side of the wall are God's children, and no man-made barrier can obliterate that fact." -MLK
  • @TheKrazeeLadee
    Well MLK had a dream and Trump is a nightmare. So there's that.
  • @mattpasta2987
    “Mike Pence, or seen here as the old man at the dog park wishing the dogs would put on some pants” 😂😂😂
  • @erichnussbaum
    Mike Pence quoting Dr. King! This is an obscene insult!
  • @amitavc
    MLK: "I have a dream." Trump: "I hate the Dreamers." yup. almost the same.
  • Kids from the Great State of Florida are now calling Trump  🦁🦁The Lying King 🦁🦁
  • He really compared trump to Mlk, you can’t compare someone who gave his life to being two different races together to someone he separates thousands of families a month you simply just can’t
  • @TheJorith
    Steven, you missed the part where trumps tweet says YOUR country..... Now that its going bad, he's already distancing himself xD
  • @vmah0111
    Mike Pence looks like someone who thinks milk is too spicy.
  • @PitFriend1
    For someone that’s a so-called “expert” at making deals Trump sure is terrible at it. Just demanding what you want and not giving anything in return isn’t how that works. It’s almost like he’s never negotiated a single thing in his life and only bullied and lied his way through everything and hands no idea how to react when he can’t just have his own way.

    Tell your landlord that the rent is gonna pay for itself.
