Joe Biden became the first sitting U.S. president to give a Sunday sermon at Martin Luther King Jr.’s Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, using the platform to hold up the life of the assassinated civil-rights leader as a lesson in repairing deep divisions

Marking Monday's national holiday celebrating King, Biden delivered a sermon at Ebenezer Baptist Church at the invitation of its pastor, Democratic U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock, centered on a common theme - the country and the world are battling against autocratic forces.

"The fact is that I stand here at a critical juncture for the United States and the world in my view," Biden said, calling it a "time of choosing." "Are we a people who will choose democracy over autocracy," Biden asked. "We have to choose a community over chaos. Are we the people going to choose love over hate? These are the questions of our time and the reason I am here."

King worked for voting rights, Biden said, but "we do well to remember that his mission was even deeper. It was spiritual. It was moral." King often asked 'Where do we go from here?' Biden said. "My message to the nation on this day is we go forward. We go together."U.S. President Joe Biden delivers remarks at Ebenezer Baptist Church ahead of the holiday honoring Martin Luther King Jr., in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S., January 15, 2023.

Why they always nice after they die? Sigh

'A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.' ― Martin Luther King, Jr.

Wasn't MLK a rapist?

Did he tell that story how he was almost on that Memphis hotel balcony with MLK except for a scheduling conflict? His nose grows every time he tells stories.

This is a man who refuses to acknowledge that 300 Americans a day are dying from Fentanyl poisoning and that MLK’s people are carrying the heaviest load of deaths. Does anyone really believe the congregants in this church are doing anything but giving him lip service?

And he lied.

As he become?

Judge not by the color of their skin but the content of their character.

It's his ilk that got MLK assassinated in the first place. Who's buying this?

That is quite a reach to find a “First” to put in the headline

reparationsnow for the descendants of emancipated Americans in the form of direct cash payments JoeBiden forget the symbolism!!!!

Smoking on that MLK pak

It seems those less intelligent don’t realize the truth of Biden past…funny how blind most are.

Pay Black American Freedmen their ReparationsNow JoeBiden

Lol. Wow. 😳🤣 haven’t heard such a divisive speech like that in, idk how long. Jesus. Wtf lol. AND… i want witnesses to his claim, “7:30 every morning high school and college” he went to church every fuking morning for years? Lmao. Where’s his HS buddies. He lying🤣🤣🤣

Too bad today's progressive movement has completely tossed out MLK.Jr's message of non-violence.

Dr. King would have nothing to do with a liar.

Where he LIES in the pulpit about attending a black church in college and mass every morning...what a damn liar.

And he is also a felon who should be charged with espionage

Makes sense since he loves black people lmfao...

Lmfaooooooo he find classified documents there?

Didn't MLK say something about judging people by their character? I don't think he meant corrupt creepy pedophiles like Joe Biden.

Pandering ifyouaint⬛

He is a real role model

MLK is propped up bc he was a passivist and that's easy for the ruling elite to control. Malcolm X was a much better man.

They should give him a double talk person of the year . Calling G opposition Nazis….. it’s all about unity and love. This is the age of what you say, and what you do has no correlation anymore neither that’s fact or truth.

I’m surprised considering his past remarks…

But Brandon voted against the Civil Rights Acts ?

Yet his lies are what people are talking about.

IRGCterorrists

POTUS on campaign tour

Assassinated by the same government he represents.

MLK would be canceled today. He was a conservative fella

Biden to deliver Sunday sermon on civil rights at Martin Luther King Jr.'s churchPresident Joe Biden is honoring civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, Georgia, during a Sunday sermon. That's fucking hilarious. The guy who created racist laws for 40 years. Says a lot about the intelligence of the audience. He could pay tribute by treating people by the content of thier character and not the color of their skin. I thought he’d be home sorting through more papers in his garage & Hunter’s bedroom😎

Biden to deliver Sunday sermon on civil rights at Martin Luther King Jr.'s churchA year after making a forceful appeal for voting rights following a visit to Martin Luther King Jr.'s spiritual home, President Biden is returning to Atlanta on Sunday to pay tribute to the late civil rights leader from his Ebenezer Baptist Church pulpit. Does Ebenezer Baptist Church support killing unborn babies like Biden does? I can’t wait to hear Biden tell “his”story that he was there when MartinLutherKing was murdered. According to Biden, MLK JR ain’t black so this should be fun
