But what I actually said was, Gandhi, by employing the techniques and practices of nonviolent resistance, brought the British Empire to its knees. Which is actually true, and we should learn from his example. Indeed, Dr. King, a disciple of Gandhi, applied those strategies to the American civil rights movement to great success. And were it not for Dr. King and the other heroes who laid down their lives during the civil rights movement, I would not be standing here before you, and we wouldn't even be standing up or talking about The Daily Stormer, Breitbart, or Trump in defending immigrants and other vulnerable communities. So we owe the civil rights movement a great debt. I want to follow in those footsteps.
