Twitter Does Not Want You To Compare Kim Davis to Rosa Parks
After being jailed last week in contempt of court for continuing to refuse same-sex marriage licenses in Rowan County, Kentucky, anti-gay clerk Kim Davis, is being set free on the condition that she does not interfere in any way with the issuing of marriage licenses to all couples.
In usual fashion, Twitter is taking to the news like crazy, and people are really letting the internet know what they think of the now notorious Kentucky clerk. Especially since some people have the audacity to compare her to the legendary civil rights activist Rosa Parks, who fought for the equality of the African-American community.
\u201c#KimDavis is NOT like Rosa Parks!\n\nKim is the bus driver who refused to drive the bus when Rosa didn't move.\u201d— Khary Penebaker (@Khary Penebaker) 1441504350

\u201cMe at the Republicans claiming #KimDavis is the Rosa Parks of our time\u201d— @DCHomos (@@DCHomos) 1441295367
\u201cComparing Kim Davis to Rosa Parks is absolutely ridiculous. Rosa Parks stood for equality, a concept that Kim Davis just doesn't understand.\u201d— kel (@kel) 1441147100
Some people on the interwebs also just voiced their general disgust for Kim...
Really tired of seeing Kim Davis everywhere.

\u201cThe only think I've learned from this Kim Davis nonsense is that America needs more civics classes. ASAP\u201d— Greg Adams (@Greg Adams) 1441735781
\u201cPerson on CNN, please stop calling Kim Davis a hero, you're ruining my lunch.\u201d— Mr. Goose (@Mr. Goose) 1441735720

\u201c. @GovMikeHuckabee you are dead wrong on the Kim Davis issue -- we issued marriage licenses because we believed the law at that time\u201d— Gavin Newsom (@Gavin Newsom) 1441592129
\u201cOnce the court ordered me to stop, I did. I was never in contempt of court -- unlike Kim Davis. Get your facts right @GovMikeHuckabee\u201d— Gavin Newsom (@Gavin Newsom) 1441592233
