Dr. Alveda King asked Congressman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, DN.Y., “to take a page out of Martin Luther King Jr.’s book” on Monday, after the congresswoman referred to President Trump as the “poison of white supremacy.”
The New York lawmaker made the comment during a meeting at the virtual city hall last week, before asking the federal government to direct funds to “de-program” white supremacists in an effort to reduce the racial divide in America.
“I believe AOC should really take a page out of Martin Luther King Jr.’s book …”, Alveda told Fox News presenter Harris Faulkner.
Alveda told Faulkner that although his uncle praised the law for keeping bad actors in line, “he also said that the law cannot transform the human heart”.

“There are laws in the books now that will severely punish white supremacists, and that must be the case …” she explained. “We know that white supremacy is wrong, it must be punished, but every crime against humanity is bad and that is why we have to protect human dignity, but not just with the law. We have to transform these hearts ”.
ALVEDA KING SAYS IT WAS ALMOST ABORTED IN THE NEW FOX NATION SPECIAL
The niece of civil rights icon Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. celebrated his uncle’s birthday with an emotional message of hope and healing for a country plagued by “violence, injustice and discord” in an opinion article published on Fox News on Monday.
Alveda acknowledged that issues of racism must be addressed, but added that Ocasio-Cortez’s divisive rhetoric contradicts his uncle’s teachings.
“My uncle said that only love can expel hate,” she explained, “so we have to do both at the same time.”
Alveda opened his personal stories with his uncle in a new Fox Nation special released on Monday to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.’s day. The exclusive series takes viewers to King’s home, where she prepares her favorite family recipes while reflects on the lessons he learned as a member of the King family.
