MLK’s daughter condemns ‘disturbing’ Trump remarks
Martin Luther King Jr.’s youngest daughter is blasting Donald Trump’s comments about “Second Amendment people” stopping Hillary Clinton as “disturbing.”
“As the daughter of a leader who was assassinated, I find #Trump’s comments distasteful, disturbing, dangerous. His words don’t #LiveUp,” Bernice King tweeted.

{mosads}At a North Carolina rally on Tuesday, Trump, said “maybe” there is something “the Second Amendment people” could do to stop Clinton from appointing liberal justices to the Supreme Court.
Democrats quickly pounced on the remark, accusing Trump of suggesting violence against a political rival. The Trump campaign has dismissed the controversy as a product of the “dishonest media.”
Bernice King was 5 years old when her father, a civil rights icon, was assassinated in 1968.
