I actually love it when Rob Schneider crawls out from under his rock because it reminds me of this:

I had no idea he was a right-wing nut job. Maybe he and Victoria Jackson can do an alt-right comedy involving a romp through some sort of liberal play land.

Dennis Miller can bring the coke and all the jokes stolen from other comedians!

It's amusing to consider that inside his cranium, the gerbil that runs on the wheel told RS that, you know, big fella, you have the insight, the gravitas, and the moral duty to set John Lewis straight on MLK and the CRM. If you're ever stuck for an example of privilege at work, there you go.

Right? I'm so glad he was able to tell John Lewis, who was there with MLK and got the shit beaten out of him, what MLK would be thinking.

Which isn't to say that no one can criticize JL on King or the Movement. Civil rights or King scholars could potentially offer up a persuasive counter interpretation as part of a useful conversation. But I'm gonna go ahead and say Rob Schneider has no deep knowledge of the Movement's history or the competing philosophies that informed it.

I also learned today that, what should come as no surprise, Schneider is an anti-vaxxer.
