Jasmine Crockett gets into a heated clash with MLK's right-winger niece #RawStory

Religious conservative activist Alveda King came to a House Judiciary Committee hearing Tuesday as a Republican star witness. She left rattled — and firing back at a Texas Democrat who questioned whether she has any right to her famous last name.

The confrontation erupted at a GOP-called hearing targeting the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) — already unraveling before Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) got the microphone. King, a Fox News contributor and chair of the America First Policy Institute's Center for the American Dream, had moments earlier shouted — according to Raw Story reporting — "Stop killing the babies and cutting the penises off!" derailing a Democratic colleague's questioning entirely.

Then Crockett took her turn.

"You want them to believe that somehow she espouses who Dr. King was," Crockett said, pointing out that the committee had not called Martin Luther King III or Dr. Bernice King — "the ones that were actually raised by Dr. King." She read aloud from MLK's book Why We Can't Wait and his 1967 speech "The Other America" to make her point plain.

The implicit charge: Alveda King, a vocal Trump booster who defended Georgia's controversial voting restrictions as consistent with her uncle's legacy, doesn't actually represent what her uncle believed.

8. I very much believe Alveda King should be judged not on her last name, but on the content of her character

[MustLoveBeagles]

15. I don't think she has any character 😕

9. Wow RFK Jr is not the only

Extreme embarrassment to a family legacy. Didn't know MLK had assholes like this in the family

[sheshe2]

10. Great point and comparison, sunnybrook.

What a blot on two amazing men's legacies. Wow.

11. Proof once again that some people will sell their very soul for money

16. I said something similar downthread

Every family has one.

13. Mary Trump

Just like Mary Trump cannot be further from Donald Trump in nature seems the same here in the opposite ways. You don’t get to choose your family, usually.

14. Proof that every family has a RFK Jr.
