As A Floridian, I can tell you that SOB Governor Scott is no Dr. Martin Luther King! That is a pure insult to this man's legacy!
The Lt. Governor is a black Republican businesswoman who probably doesn't even know the history of Dr. King!

I cannot wait until the next gubernatorial election, and Scott goes back from whence he came!

Do you have any examples, to disprove what she stated?

That lieutenant governor must be on halucinogenic drugs.
MLK was MLK because he fought against racial and class injustices. If there were no racial or class injustices when he was alive he probably would not have the status he has now. To compare anyone today to MLK one would have to admit that our society today has similar strugges and injustices. Is this what the Lt. Gov. is implying?

So are you serious? You are going to compare a corrupt Governor of Florida who defrauded our state through his company to one of the greatest Civil Rights leader in American history?

Sorry, that's not how things work. If you compare someone to an icon, and yes MLK is an icon, the burden of proof is on the person making the comparison not the person questioning the comparison.
