Aaron Alsop questions if inviting J.D. Vance to speak this year's Martin Luther King, Jr. breakfast was meant as an insult, a sign of surrender or an attempt at absurdist humor.
Such an invitation would be a clear indicator that either you haven’t been listening to Bernie, or you don’t understand Ayn Rand.
In J.D. Vance you have a man who says he can’t be racist, and the policies he supports can’t be racist, because he has biracial children. Obviously, this is an airtight argument, just ask Strom Thurmond. The most surface understanding of King shows this. Just listen to the beginning of his most iconic speech, and you’ll see he was determined to cash in on a debt that conservative America won’t even acknowledge.The truest and deepest shame is to see self-proclaimed keepers of the King legacy fail so deliberately.
