It actually depends which King you’re talking about. You’ve got the “I have a Dream” speech that would fit well with Ward Connerly, and you have later endorsements of welfare that...well...wouldn’t.

I sometimes think that too much of our recollections of history were shaped by the media, but times are changing.

MLK was against the Vietnam War in a big way. There is no way he’d stand the men who lied us into this bloody quagmire.

When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.
“pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and success of liberty.”
Sound like a Democrat to you?
Times change. JFK would be a Republican today.
Martin Luther King Jr would probably have a problem with one of the left’s sacred cows - “affirmative action”. His “I have a dream” speech pretty much affirms that. He also probably wouldn’t be too happy with the “pro-choicers” setting up shop in every black community.

I just don’t know.
On the one hand you have the fact the Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican. And then you have the counter point that Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican.
Awfully confusing.
Was he a Republican because he said he was? Or was he a Republican because he said he was?
This is certainly a conundrum.

It should come as no surprise that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was a Republican. In that era, almost all black Americans were Republicans. Why? From its founding in 1854 as the anti-slavery party until today, the Republican Party has championed freedom and civil rights for blacks. It was the Democrats who fought to keep blacks in slavery and passed the discriminatory Black Codes and Jim Crow laws. The Democrats started the Ku Klux Klan to lynch and terrorize blacks. The Democrats fought to prevent the passage of every civil rights law beginning with the civil rights laws of the 1860s, and continuing with the civil rights laws of the 1950s and 960s.
