Atlanta rapper Killer Mike has been a Bernie Sanders’ supporter early on since 2015 and isn’t here for any slander against the presidential candidate.

Mike went to Twitter and compared Senator Sanders’ dislike by the public to the treatment of Civil Rights icon Martin Luther King Jr on March 6.

It all started when author and Bill and Hillary Clinton supporter Zachary Wood tweeted,

There’s just something about you, @BernieSanders, that pisses me off.

Killer Mike took no time jumping in the thread responding with a screenshot of an article showcasing the treatment of MLK,

Mike continued,

One of actually knows and was trained in organizing by the people that organized with King and the SCLC. One of us is on Twitter attempting to advise that trained organizer. Chill and trust me Becuz I’m talking facts not propaganda. Thanks, Bubba. https://t.co/fYU8t4ouRY
