CNNs Jeffrey Lord: Think of Trump as Martin Luther King of healthcare

[mac56]

CNN political commentator and President Trump supporter Jeffrey Lord on Thursday called him the "Martin Luther King of healthcare," arguing that the president has worked to rally support around healthcare reform like King rallied support around the Civil Rights Act.

"Think of President Trump as the Martin Luther King of healthcare," Lord said during an appearance on CNN.

"When I was a kid, President Kennedy did not want to introduce the civil rights bill because he said it wasn't popular, he didn't have the votes for it, et cetera," he added. "Dr. King kept putting people in the streets in harm's way to put the pressure on so that the bill would be introduced. That's what finally worked."

9. Just a thought

While Twitler hasn't put people to the streets he certainly has caused a lot of us to put ourselves there. Maybe that's what confused him or he could just be a complete jackass. Yeah, jackass, that's probably it.
