MSNBC’s Velshi: Trump Is ‘Sullying’ MLK Jr.’s ‘Very Name’

‘What the president said last night stands in absolute contrast to what Martin Luther King devoted his life to’

EXCERPT:

RUHLE: "Welcome back to 'Velshi & Ruhle'. We've got breaking news. NBC News confirms the U.S. Ambassador to Panama has resigned. Routers reports it is over President Trump’s comments over Haiti and African countries. The president called Haiti, El Salvador and African nations, quote, 'shithole' countries while discussing immigration with lawmakers. The president has denied using that specific word and we’re looking at a live shot of the White House where President Trump, oh, the irony, is about to sign a proclamation to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day."
VELSHI: "Sullying his very name in doing so today. Because what the president said last night stands in absolute contrast to what Martin Luther King devoted his life to."
