Michael Eric Dyson delivered a fiery speech at Aretha Franklin's funeral that included sharp criticisms of Donald Trump and a perceived slight toward Barack Obama. Dyson used alliterative insults to describe the President, calling him a "lugubrious leech" and a "doppelganger of deceit." The oration emphasized Franklin's activism for figures like Angela Davis and her deep roots in the black community of Detroit.
