      A year ago, Washington joined in unity, prayer and civility after horror erupted on a baseball field. We should be able to disagree without being disagreeable. #civilityhttps://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/07/finding-unity-in-a-divided-washington/532512/ …

      I’m sorry that happened to you. I encourage you with these words from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”

          King also spoke about the moderate who sat silently and watched, he said “Silence is Betrayal”...non-violent Civil Disobedience was not just words it was action.

          Senator - how is it OKAY with GOP for President, Sarah Sanders, et al to say horrible things to so many people, categorically, and not one GOP stands up to say it is inappropriate?

          Interesting you bring up MLK b/c everyone making the respectability argument is reminding me of what he said about the white moderate. Why must we make those in power feel comfortable while they inflict inhumanity on others?

          Caring more about an 'absence of tension' than a 'presence of justice' seems pretty apt when it comes to those hand-wringing over civility.pic.twitter.com/NHmTIyYmC2

          You do not get to quote Dr. King while doing the opposite of what the quote says. Every action you've taken supports a hateful agenda & a policy of darkness against those most in need. MLK: "One who condones evils is just as guilty as the one who perpetrates it." #LankfordLies

          I wholeheartedly agree it is despicable probably deplorable for you to quote MLK. Unless you can vocally condemn Trump for kidnapping children. You have no right to usurp a hero’ words @IndivisibleOK @DeadlineWH @SRuhle

          Maybe you need to have that conversation with Trump in person instead of tweeting MLK quotes.

          Please refrain from hypocritical preaching. Your party takes its cue from Lester Maddox not from Martin Luther King Jr. Civility begins when you hold the Trumps, the Millers, the Hannitys & the Huckabees to account instead of enabling them. Shame on you. Shame on you. Shame!
