White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany faced backlash on Twitter on Monday for quoting from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on MLK Day.
“We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools,” McEnany wrote.
“We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools.”
– Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. left a legacy of faith, love, and equality.
He made America better.
He was a true servant of Christ.
Today, we honor him!

McEnany has been known for attacking activists who fight against social and racial injustices while defending Donald Trump.
Here’s what people had to say:

Girl PLEASE! Today is NOT the day!
How dare YOU of all people?Just don't dishonor Dr. King with your hypocrisy. Not today! Not any day!
STAY IN YOUR LANE

Your quoting of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. only serves to sully his important message with your voice. Especially because you helped an administration who actively worked against Dr. King’s philosophy.
Put THAT in your binder.

How dare you invoke his name.

Do not pretend that you care about anything Dr. King said or that you stand for unity. Acknowledge the damage you have done.

I’m surprised you have heard of him. None of his words resonated, apparently.

It’s especially offensive when people who would vilify MLK today use the opportunity to make themselves feel righteous once a year. I’d rather you say NOTHING at all. For once in your life.
