Highlights: Dr. Bernice King is no stranger to watching people on social media use her father’s legacy to score a point. But this time, she’d clearly had enough of it.

On Wednesday, the daughter of the late-civil rights icon, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called out comedian Amy Schumer for implying that he would have supported Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip.

    Wait, is there some political figure named Amy Schumer or are we actually talking about Amy “my vagina” Schumer, the least funny female comedian since Lisa “I love big black cock” Lamponelli?

    Please don’t read me wrong. I fucking love Jean Garofolo, Maria Bamford, Joan Rivers, Taylor Tomlinson, Ali Wong, Wanda Sykes, Mae Martin… I just cant fathom why people would care about the white female version of Carlos Mencia’s take on a war?

    I’d rather hear Michelle Wolf’s opinions on something of this nature, since politics is at least her wheelhouse, but I still wouldnt really take a lot of stock in thos opinions; she’s a comedian. Well informed, yes, but an actual bonafide comedian.
