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

3. Reagan reversed course in 1983, facing increasing pressure from the NAACP and an upcoming reelection campaign. But Reagan wrote to New Hampshire Gov. Meldrim Thomson (R), one of King's harshest critics, and let him know the plan. https://t.co/GaK5r8A9Kr — PolitiTweet.org

2. It's not talked about much but Reagan OPPOSED the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and OPPOSED the Voting Rights Act of 1965 In Reagan's 1966 campaign for governor, he SUPPORTED racial housing discrimination Reagan also opposed the MLK Jr. holiday for years https://t.co/GaK5r8A9Kr — PolitiTweet.org

1. REMEMBER, from the outset, conservatives have sought to use the MLK Jr. holiday to ignore the "reality" of King and coopt his legacy as a symbol of an ideology that King abhorred It started with Reagan. https://t.co/GaK5r8A9Kr — PolitiTweet.org
