Not today Bernie Sanders, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez- supporting Shaun King. Not tomorrow, not the next day, and as far as a majority of humankind is concerned, NOT EVER!
“Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King called Monday for the removal of statues, murals and stained glass windows that depict Jesus as a “white European,” which he claimed “are a form of white supremacy.” (LifeSite, June 22, 2020)“Yes, I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down,” King, a former surrogate on Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’s 2020 presidential campaign, wrote on Twitter. “They are a form of white supremacy. Always have been.” “King’s targeting of religious artwork comes as various activist groups have moved beyond tearing down Confederate statues and are now calling for the removal of other historical monuments. “In the Bible, when the family of Jesus wanted to hide, and blend in, guess where they went?” he added. “EGYPT! Not Denmark. Tear them down.”WHOA! Here’s a latter day Marxist’s attempt trying to rewrite the Holy Bible inferring how The Holy Family tried to blend in in “EGYPT!” not Denmark. But King’s pathetic attempt to drag our much adored and revered Lord and Savior into his over-the-top “white supremacy” obsession was over before it even began. It’s because most folk the world over are not having any of his heresy and never will.
— Shaun King (@shaunking) June 22, 2020 “All murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus, and his European mother, and their white friends should also come down,” King wrote in a second tweet. “They are a gross form of white supremacy.”A spokesperson for King didn’t immediately return a request for additional comment. That’s likely because he’s already desperately searching for a way to walk it all back. “King made his remarks over a series of Twitter posts as historic monuments and statues have become the targets of anger and vandalism during Black Lives Matter protests in the wake of George Floyd’s death while in police custody late last month. (Fox News, June 22, 2020) Neither Bernie Sanders nor AOC can walk back their support for this radical prominent Black Lives Matter activist. It was King who introduced Sanders at some of his campaign events. (WaPO, March 10, 2020)

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez November 16, 2017 · Shaun King, one of the most prominent Progressive figures in the country, just endorsed Ocasio2018. This is game-changing. Join the movement: www.ocasio2018.com
Shaun King March 11, 2019 · Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's critique of “moderates” is spot on. Moderates are more naive than the visionaries if they think tinkering around the edges will solve systemic problems in our democracy and economy. It’s time to rewrite the social contract, not manage decline. — From @justicedemocrats Meanwhile King’s call to “tear down” “all murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus, and his European mother, and their white friends” is what the electorate is waiting to do to all Democrats—including cunning Justice Democrat ones—on November 3, 2020. #Bring Them Down!”
Thank you @ShaunKing! https://t.co/7oUzBoDPib
