GOP Candidate Brandon Herrera Attempts to Debunk FBI’s Account of MLK Jr’s Assassination
Texas GOP House Candidate Challenges FBI’s Account of MLK Jr’s Assassination
In a captivating video, Texas GOP House candidate and popular gun YouTuber Brandon Herrera delves into the theory that the FBI was involved in the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Herrera goes to great lengths to recreate the fatal shot, using ballistic gel shaped like a human head and the same model rifle used in King’s murder. The video has already garnered over 1.2 million views since its release on November 7.
On April 4, 1968, King was tragically shot while standing on a second-floor hotel balcony in Memphis, Tennessee. The discovery of a .30-06 caliber rifle wrapped in a bundle across the street launched the largest investigation in FBI history, according to Stanford University.
While James Earl Ray, an escaped convict, was eventually arrested and confessed to killing King, Herrera points out several inconsistencies and peculiarities surrounding the assassination. For instance, he highlights the mismatch between the alleged gun used and the bullet found at the crime scene.
Although Herrera draws on a document to support his claims, he fails to cite its source. He also acknowledges that much of his speculation is based on the theories of another YouTuber named Wendigoon.
Herrera further reveals that a large tree branch obstructed the view of the alleged shooter, making the kill shot nearly impossible. He suggests that Memphis Police cut down the tree the night after the shooting to aid the investigation. While Herrera doesn’t provide a source for this information, witnesses reported seeing someone moving through thick bushes near the crime scene, which were later destroyed by Memphis public works employees.
Additionally, Herrera asserts that the King family sued the FBI and other government agencies for their alleged involvement in the assassination, and the family emerged victorious. This claim is supported by a story in The Washington Post, which states that a Memphis jury ruled in favor of the King family, holding the local, state, and federal governments liable for King’s death.
Herrera also mentions a disturbing letter sent to King by the FBI, urging him to commit suicide and threatening to expose damaging information about him. The New York Times published this letter in 2014, confirming its authenticity and verifying its source as the FBI.
Despite delving into this dark and controversial topic, Herrera reassures his audience that he is not suicidal. Known as “The AK Guy” for his love of the AK-47 rifle, Herrera announced his candidacy for Congress in August, positioning himself as a constitutionalist, business owner, and Second Amendment activist.
Does Herrera Make a Convincing Argument?
Although Herrera includes evidence to support his claims, he acknowledges that much of his speculation is based on the theories of another YouTuber. He also raises questions about the FBI’s account of the assassination, pointing out inconsistencies and unusual circumstances. While some of his claims lack specific sources, there is evidence to suggest that the King family sued the FBI and other government agencies, and that the FBI sent a threatening letter to King before his death. Herrera’s video has sparked significant interest, with over 1.2 million views, and has ignited a debate about the true events surrounding Martin Luther King Jr’s assassination.
