Moms Demand Action Founder Shannon Watts took to Twitter to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the best way she knows how, by arguing MLK would be in favor of gun control.

"Patriotism means standing up for your country’s values, not pledging personal allegiance to Dear Leader."

With all due disrespect #MLKDAY https://t.co/elQgmRl0ht

She also retweeted a number of Moms Demand Action groups across the nation who are taking their gun control agenda to MLK Day parades.

Shannon Watts is just one example of someone who is using an American hero to advance their political agenda. She utilized Martin Luther King to imply that her values must be the values of all.
