Bernice King Corrects Record on Her Father After Misleading Tweet by Amy Schumer

HeadlineNov 01, 2023

Bernice King, lawyer and daughter of Martin Luther King Jr., responded to a post by comedian Amy Schumer, who shared a video of Dr. King condemning antisemitism and defending Israel’s right to exist. Bernice King wrote, “Certainly, my father was against antisemitism. He also believed militarism (along with racism and poverty) to be among the interconnected Triple Evils. I am certain he would call for Israel’s bombing of Palestinians to cease.”
