However, unlike her uncle who preached tolerance and justice, Alveda King promotes bigotry and hatred. She uses her platform to publicly promote extreme anti-LGBTQ ideologies: she has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediamatters.org\/meet-alveda-king-fox-news-contributor-who-blames-natural-disasters-gay-marriage\">compared same-sex marriage to genocide, compared homosexuality to fatness, and written that same-sex marriage and abortions cause natural disasters<\/a>. She is also an avowed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajc.com\/news\/national-govt--politics\/alveda-king-niece-martin-luther-king-and-trump-booster\/x0vTC2YUqzywTdT2nxRbFI\/\">Trump supporter<\/a>, and has publicly and continuously countered allegations condemning Trump for being racist, tweeting \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AlvedaCKing\/status\/1159471796149719040\">President Trump is not a racist!! He is one of the best presidents America has ever seen!

The fact that Georgetown continues to host COCC demonstrates its lack of regard for marginalized students and their interests. As a Jesuit university that supposedly values \u201cacademic excellence,\u201d \u201ccura personalis,\u201d \u201cfaith that does justice,\u201d and \u201ccommunity in diversity,\u201d Georgetown must publicly condemn the speakers of this conference and force student organizers to permanently change the conference\u2019s name.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Last August, Alveda King <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/dr-alveda-king-blasts-obama-for-politicizing-john-lewis-funeral-leftists-will-grab-at-any-opportunity\/\">blasted former President Barack Obama<\/a> for politicizing the funeral of John Lewis. Obama stated, \u201cThere are those in power who are doing their darndest to discourage people from voting by closing polling locations, and targeting minorities, and students with restrictive ID laws and attacking our voting rights with surgical precision, even undermining the postal service in the run up to an election that\u2019s going to be dependent on mail-in ballots so people don\u2019t get sick.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In response, King told Fox News\u2019 \u201cFOX &amp; Friends\u201d:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Well, I guess we should have expected that the Left, including President Obama, would take that occasion for a political moment. They\u2019ll grab at any opportunity, that\u2019s to be understood. I have chosen not to politicize the death of congressman Lewis, but to remember him as a peaceful, nonviolent warrior, and encourage everyone to resolve our conflicts peacefully. However, President Obama, with word play, took us back to the 1960\u2019s, and that was a time when segregation was still on the books, segregation was still legal, and those in power, some of them were trying to enforce that and keep that. Today, when the National Guard goes in, sent by the president for example, or the state troopers, they\u2019re trying to protect the people of America in every community and to save lives and protect people. There is a totally distinct difference. \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>In February 2019, Alveda King <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/trump-meets-pro-life-advocate-alveda-king-and-paul-bois\/\">said of former President Trump<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>With his latest life-affirming action today, on Valentine\u2019s Day, President Trump shines light and hope for babies in the womb, and for those who are unjustly bound in other tenuous situations. \u2026 Considering the huge fiascoes and lies about abortion being a reproductive right, with New York and Virginia endorsing infanticide, President Trump\u2019s adoption response today is yet another sanctity of life gain. Let\u2019s do something different today. Let\u2019s pray for America, and join President Trump in his compassion for the least of these exemplified in his speech today. Let\u2019s choose adoption as an option to abortion. Let\u2019s insist that our elected officials vote no on infanticide.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
