Sara Huckabee Sanders insinuates MLK wasnt assassinated but sacrificed himself?

[LinktothePastGOAT]

What is wrong with these people?!? Seems like she's arguing he sacrificed his own life and wasnt assassinated.

 

[DrROBschiz]

Umm im not getting that impression from that tweet to be fair

Seems like a bread and butter thing to say about this holiday

 

[uzipukki]

Uh, no? Isn't that a pretty common phrase?

 

[Speevy]

There are a million horrible things to say about Sarah Sanders without inventing one.

 

[Futureman]

It's typical Team Trump.

Word things is such a way that they can be considered offensive and supportive at the same time. Then when someone reads it offensively "How dare you!"

 

[EssBeeVee]

i think sacrifice in this context is different from what OP thinks.

 

[Latpri]

This is probably one of the least offensive things she could have said. If what youre doing was dangerous enough to put you at risk of assassination then the actions you take could certainly be seen as a sacrifice. He DID have the option of shutting up and stopping once he was aware of the danger and didnt take it.

I think that she just doesnt know what words mean.

If MLK were alive today, the right would treat him like a domestic terrorist. And that wrong has a loooooooong way to go before it's "righted."

 

[prophetvx]

You can be critical of pretty much everything that Sarah Huckabee Sanders says, this isn't it.

 

[Reckheim]

gotta be outraged about something I quess. Seems like pretty standard phrasing tbh.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Well...you tried

 

[Joco]

Sacrifice does not have to mean giving up one's life.

 

[Sanjuro]

This is fake news!

 

[Deleted member 19003]

Meh, kinda reaching on that one. Lots of people say that about mlk and it's not meant as a negative.

 

[marrec]

Back to the drawing board on this one OP

 

[Odesu]

You know, if I was a racist asshole who spent his time in life on internet forums arguing for why, actually, it's the others who are crazy, I would take a picture of this OP and post it everywhere forever.

 

[HellforLeather]

 

[stew]

I take this as "He knew he was taking the riks to get killed, but kept fighting for his cause."

 

[Latpri]

I guess she could have said had his life taken instead of given his life but at that point its just phrasing and semantics.

 

[Rag]

That's a real stretch. I'd love to take an opportunity to shit on her, but this isn't it.

 

[TransEuropaExpress]

That's not at all what that means in this context, no matter if the person saying it is typically wrong or not. It's just generic politician speak about someone who "died for a cause", however it may have happened.

 

[DrROBschiz]

His dedication in the face of danger was indeed a personal sacrifice he took on for the betterment of the people who believed in him

Look many of us have misgivings with SHS but she probably didnt even write this originally its so basic

 

[Surfinn]

What's offensive is these clowns even mentioning his name while they represent the opposite of everything he stood for.

 

[Angry Grimace]

This is a huge reach.

Honestly this kind of thing makes the progressive movement look really unreasonable.

 

[Hollywood Duo]

SHS is a dog shit human but you read that wrong. She's just spouting a tired cliche.

 

[Nox Potens]

That's a bit of a stretch OP.

 

[Khaos Prime]

Man OP you are REAAAAAAAALLLLLYYYYY reaching with this one.

 

[Deleted member 4461]

Calm down Mr. Fantastic

 

[CopperPuppy]

This ain't it OP

 

[Deleted member 420]

posting in legendary thread

 

[metalslimer]

As much as I hate this stupid piece of shit I dont think she is saying that at all

 

[Maxim726x]

Trying too hard: The Thread.

 

[psynergyadept]

Mr. Fantastic would be proud OP...that's one hell of a stretch.

 

[Deleted member 176]

"Our country"? Does she think she owns the rights to it?

 

[Deleted member 23212]

Sacrificed his life in this case means doing what he did in spite of all the risks involved.

 

[Jecht]

And behind the scenes her and every other racist is still calling it "N-Word Day"

 

[cirr]

there are lots of things to get furious about today but i don't think this is one of them
never thought i'd say that about a shs tweet

 

[Yerffej]

I think what she said is fine?

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

... Really?

 

[Deleted member 35217]

Lock this ridiculous thread. Give me a break.

 

[Acorn]

A sacrifice can be both given willingly and unwillingly.

You ever heard of a soldier dying being "the ultimate sacrifice for his country" same thing.

 

[Carolina Reaper]

That is truly an awful misreading of what she said by you.

 

[foggy]

Reality is hard

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Embarrassing, OP

 

[Royalan]

The substance of Sanders' tweet was widely misinterpreted by the title of this thread. As there's really no conversation to be had here, the thread has been closed.
