5. GOP politicians have been using Reagan's playbook for decades. Yesterday, VA Gov Glenn Youngkin invoked King to justify his executive order banning "divisive concepts" like systemic racism in VA schools King talked frequently about systemic racism https://t.co/GaK5r8A9Kr https://t.co/v8AFm4mCG3 — PolitiTweet.org

4. Reagan assured Thomson that the King holiday would be based on "an image" of King and not the "reality" of King. Reagan proceeded to use a false image of King to justify defend his attacks on anti-poverty programs, and civil rights enforcement https://t.co/GaK5r8A9Kr https://t.co/QNz6UFkpWR — PolitiTweet.org

6. Republicans falsely claim that King advocated for a "colorblind" society by ignoring everything he's said, save for 35 words in August 1963. The idea that King did not want people to talk about racism or address racial inequality is absolutely absurd https://t.co/GaK5r8A9Kr — PolitiTweet.org
