Martin Luther King III on Monday responded to Pences Face the Nation interview, during which the VP used a quote from MLKs famous I Have a Dream speech to make a case for Trumps wall.
Martin Luther King Jr was a bridge builder, not a wall builder, said King, according to Atlantic writer Edward-Isaac Dovere. Martin Luther King Jr. would say, Love, not hate, will make America great.'
During his interview, Pence repeated MLKs quote Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy and declared thats exactly what Trump was doing by demanding $5.7 billion for his unpopular border wall.

MLK gave his life fighting for equal rights, for love, freedom. Pence attempts to trash his legacy with this bullshit.
