Appointed and ousted Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) celebrated the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. after spending the past month attacking the pastor preaching from Dr. King's pulpit.
Loeffler, who lost her race overwhelmingly, posted a meme of Dr. King, but many responded by recirculating the photo Loeffler took with a white supremacist and KKK leader.

The Huffington Post shared a photo of Loeffler with Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Georgia extremist Joshua Mote.
When the photos were posted, Loeffler's campaign claimed it was "a fake news attack from the totally discredited Southern Poverty Law Center and their friends in the liberal media."

Don't worry I'm sure she did the obligatory MLK post to social media today just to pretend for a second she isn't racist trash.

Uh uh, no, you don't get to slander his beliefs every day, and then on the one day dedicated to remember him, your praising him, and the work he did for unity..... you played a roll in almost destroying this country. Shame on you, you don't get to invoke his name.

It's unreal how racists expect that a single day offering of comments absolves them of their racist rhetoric and actions for an entire year...

Are you? I don't think Dr King would approve of your attempts to throw out tens of thousands of African American votes. Just sayin'

So how are you honoring MLK Jr. on this day of service? Or is it just words that you spout and now your done? I like people who back their words with actions.

It's so comforting to quote dead men, isn't it? They can't push back to point out that you're the darkness and hate they spoke of.

So thankful that someone with true values, morals and vision was elected to represent us and not someone who will post something like this on MLK day and then live against these words the other 364 days. Your attacks on Warnock during your campaign were attack on MLK's very words

You and your ilk tried to nullify Black voices. We will never forget.

You can't campaign with white supremacists and then quote Dr. King like that. When you gonna take the “Senator" off your Twitter handle?

Gimme a break. You don't care one iota about who he was or what he stood for.
