The White House subtly disapproved of the comparisons made by conservative activists between former President Donald Trump's recent arrest and those of civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Numerous supporters of the former president posted Trump's Fulton County mug shot alongside booking photos of King following various arrests for civil demonstrations, alleging that Trump is carrying on King's legacy.
Asked for his reaction by the Washington Examiner about the comparisons made between King and Trump by MAGA activists, Benjamin said he had not seen them and feels"better" that he had not. "The reality is that the sacrifices made by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and not just him but A. Philip Randolph and Bayard Rustin and Whitney Young and others, should never be minimized," Benjamin said."They represent the sacrifices of so many people who labored in anonymity, who gave everything, who marched, who cried and died that this nation might live up to its better angels, that it might live up to its promise.
