Jeremiah Wright: Dr. King had a ‘dream,’ Obama has a ‘drone’

Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s ongoing public feud with President Barack Obama is apparently still going strong six years after the then-presidential candidate distanced himself from his former pastor over his inflammatory remarks.

Wright has since disparaged the president numerous times in public, mostly recently while appearing at a Chicago Teachers Union event honoring Martin Luther King, Jr. on Wednesday.

“We need to teach the truth about our politicians, from Bush to Barack. Because very clearly it is not about the person, it is about the policies of this government,” Wright reportedly said. “King said, ‘I have a dream.’ Barack said, ‘I have a drone.’”

President Obama’s use of drone strikes to combat terrorism has been a divisive issue throughout his presidency.

Wright also lashed out at the “Great Emancipator” Abraham Lincoln during his remarks.

“Abraham Lincoln liked to tell darkie jokes. He liked to hear darkie jokes and he used the n-word incessantly,” the preacher said, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.
