No need to withhold judgement. This isn't a court of law. It's a court of public opinion. And in my opinion, that's how he typically refers to MLK Jr. when speaking his name.Seems to me it slipped out so casually, that’s possibly how he normally refers to Martin Luther King Jr..Seems to be a huge difference between coon and king and not simply that he "jumbled a couple of words."
The previous word was "Luther" and the following word was "King". It seems clear to me that it was a simple twist of the tongue, i.e., accidentally putting the two together: "Koong". It's like trying to say "Toy boat" three times fast.
So now we're at the stage in this country where people like BillyBloom judge all conservatives as racist by mere virtue of being conservative and people get fired for pronouncing a word incorrectly. And liberals and Democrats say we're being paranoid.
Seems to me we should withhold judgment until we know more about him and the case.
