Killer Mike Compares Bernie Sanders Hate To Martin Luther King, Jr.’s

According to XXL, Killer Mike  is taking his support for Bernie Sanders to another level by trying to point out comparisons in the hate the senator receives to the disdain many had for Civil Rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.

The Atlanta MC took to twitter to confront a Bill & Hillary supporter.

After catching peeping the tweet, Killer Mike responded with a screenshot of an article headlined, “Even Though He Is Revered Today, MLK Was Widely Disliked by the American Public When He Was Killed,” which compared the hate for Sanders to the way MLK was also perceived before he was killed.

He naturally explained his reasoning behind the statement.

“One of actually knows and was trained in organizing by the people that organized with King and the SCLC,” he responded. “One of us is on Twitter attempting to advise that trained organizer. Chill and trust me Becuz I’m talking facts not propaganda. Thanks, Bubba.”

Mike has been one of Sanders’ biggest supporters since his 2016 campaign and has recently denied taking any money for his backing.

“Keep it really real. I’m accept NO MONEY from any politician,” Mike wrote in response to another Twitter user who accused him of being a paid advocate. “I am already rich.”
