Rev. Jeremiah Wright slammed President Obama’s drone policy Wednesday in a speech commemorating Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday.
Speaking at a breakfast co-hosted by the Chicago Teachers Union, Mr. Wright said that while Dr. King proclaimed “I have a dream,” Obama says, “I have a drone,” the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
“Every Tuesday morning, there’s a kill list that the president decides who they’re going to kill this week,” he said. “That’s a man controlled by government. A government based on militarism, racism and capitalism.”
