The FBI, on the anniversary of Martin Luther King’s assassination Tuesday, tweeted a tribute to the slain civil rights leader, despite long-held conspiracy theories that the domestic spy agency had a hand in King’s death.

“Today, on the anniversary of his assassination, the FBI honors the life, work, & commitment of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to justice.” the FBI tweeted from its official account.

The post included a one of King’s favorite quotes about morality and justice.

“We shall overcome,” King said in the tweeted quote, “because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” […]

The FBI tribute set off a social media backlash.

“You have no f—ing right to co-opt the legacy of Dr. King nearly 50 years after you murdered him,” tweeted John Weiss, a writer and filmmaker.

“You shld have protected Civil Rights leaders, instead of running COINTELPRO smear campaign.” wrote Twitter user Kyle Linhares. “Evers, X, King might still be alive if you had.”

“Ah, Romans honoring Jesus,” wrote another.
