Donkey Of The Day: Steve Bannon Claims “MLK would love Donald Trump”
Former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon said that Martin Luther King, Jr. would be “proud” of what President Donald Trump has done for African-American and Latino workers in the U.S.
“Martin Luther King ... he would be proud of what Donald Trump has done for [the] black and Hispanic working class, OK?” Bannon told ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl in an exclusive interview on “This Week” Sunday.
Karl pushed back on Bannon's claim that Martin Luther King, Jr. would be proud of the effects of Trump's policies on minorities.
“I think there are a lot of, a lot of civil rights leaders that would adamantly disagree with you on that,” Karl said.
Bannon was responding to Karl's asking him about comments he made in March at an event with far-right French politicians.
