Oh, No He Didn't: Kevin Hart Quotes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. After Receiving Backlash Over Homophobic Comments
Kevin Hart has had quite the eventful weekend as he controversially refused to apologize for his old and recently resurfaced anti-LGBT tweets, prompting him to step down from his duties as the host of the 91st annual Academy Awards.

On December 7, the actor sourced one of Dr. King's most popular quotes in an attempt to prove his intentions, and it all fell flat.
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy," he posted, seemingly in relation to the chatter surrounding his drama-ridden life, as of late.

As expected, just as the dragging against him began to subside, his tweet only served as a catalyst, making things worse and tarnishing his image that much more.
