Alveda King: Warren Using The King Name To "Play The Race Card"; Coretta Wanted To Bring People Together, Not Divide (RealClearPolitics)

Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., said Sen. Elizabeth Warren is doing a bait and switch using the words of her deceased aunt and wife of MLK Jr, Coretta Scott King.

"If we take a look at my Aunt Coretta Scott King’s letter, we know that she was a peace maker," King said Wednesday on FOX Business. Her intentions were never to divide during her whole life. I was her communications and correspondence secretary for several years when I was a young women."

King said Sessions has worked to end school segregation and prosecute members of the KKK, things her aunt was for, and that Warren is using the remarks as a "bait and switch." King accused Warren of using the King name to "play the race card."
