That moment a conservative or right-wing commentator stops pretending to admire Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and admits they never really cared for the man (or the Civil Rights movement in general) after all.
King flipping falls just a tad short of actually defending segregation or Jim Crow. The conservative making these statements will typically just say that the civil rights activists and the segregationists were both bad in their own way. However, don’t expect him or her to maintain this stance for long. Once someone has King flipped, their metamorphosis from a conservative into a full-blown white supremacist is almost guaranteed, and likely to happen soon.

-Charlie Kirk used to call Dr. King a hero, but now he says King was “awful” and the Civil Rights Act was a mistake because it created too many federal bureaucracies. And he wants to spend Martin Luther King Day railing about this to everyone who will listen. Looks like Charlie has officially King flipped. He’ll probably be playing Johnny Rebel songs at his rallies before long.
-Conservatives’ attitudes toward race tend to decay predictably over time, almost like radioactive isotopes do. The decay chain for the conservative isotope goes something like this, with each step typically having a shorter half-life than the previous one:
1. “Can’t we just stop talking about race? Let’s all just be colorblind.”
2. “Dr. King was a Republican, and Democrats are the real racists! Just like in 1860!”
3. “Blacks are more racist than whites, and BLM is a terrorist group. Dr. King would have agreed with me, you know. He’d want us to build the wall and ban books, too.”
4. “Aw, f*** it! Dr. King really wasn’t a good person and I’m sick of pretending he’d be on our side, because I know he wouldn’t. And Civil Rights was a Commie plot. I’m totally not a racist, though.” this stage is the King flip
5. There’s nothing wrong with being a racist. We’d be better off if the South had won. And maybe we should start questioning the mainstream narrative of World War II, too.
