Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham on Monday railed about the commemoration ceremonies for the 50th anniversary of civil rights March on Washington, and then interrupted a recording of Rep. John Lewis’ (D-GA) speech with the sound of gunfire.

Following the lead of conservative media outlets like Breitbart and The Blaze, Ingraham lashed out Martin Luther King III for saying on Saturday that “the color of one’s skin remains a license to profile, to arrest and to even murder.”

“But it all comes down to just George Zimmerman?” she asked. “The goal was, as our caller said, to divide. To co-opt the legacy of Martin Luther King into a modern day liberal agenda, a left-wing agenda, progressive agenda. Whatever you want to call it. From gay marriage to immigration amnesty was thrown in for good measure. We talked about the Voting Rights Act.”

To make her point about immigration, Ingraham played a portion of Lewis’ speech.

if that image is of the assassination of a beloved politician. Psychopaths sure do have to 'exercise' their followers on an ongoing basis... like taking your dog for a walk.
