Somebody who wants to run for public office it will be found he or she touched themselves when in their cribs and will be called a sex pervert by the msm. Wait for it it will happen.

Wheee, I will bet after today they do...

I would like them to explain how what he said when he was 15 or 16 is relevant to anything?

We know, as a matter of science, that 16 year old brains aren't at all fully formed. We all change a lot by the age of 20 or 21.

It really is irrational.

Because like 99% of the media today, they'll do anything for a headline. (Or a click. Or a tune-in.)

"Viral charity donor revealed to be secret racist!"


Barely one step removed from the National Enquirer's "Woman's love-child with Elvis' ghost stolen by aliens!"


News stories today are chosen for their click-bait shock value.

None are pure enough to escape the whipping post of PC.

Wish I had a subscription so I could cancel it. As an object lesson, though, it shows how one's social media past can bite one in the a$$.

Tucker Carlson called out the Paper as well as the "cancel culture" which is basically bullies who love to hate, I'd venture that half the haters are just people that jump in just to be a part of the beatings.

Tucker Carlson Cancel Culture

One interesting thing about AB-Inbev, while they disassociated themselves from King, they are major sponsors of Comedy Central, the show that created the two incidents King tweeted.

Hope this reported twat gets crucified as well.

Iowa to celebrate 'Carson King Day' after beer fan
raises over $1M for children's charity

Carson King, the man who raised over $1 million for children's charity after asking for beer money on
television and was later called out for old tweets, is still getting a day and a beer named after him in his home state of Iowa.
King, 24, made headlines earlier this month when he went on a taping of ESPN's "College Gameday" at Iowa State University asking people to send him money for beer. His sign read, “Busch Light supply needs replenished" and included information on how to send him money through Venmo, the popular money transfer app.
King ended up receiving hundreds of thousands of dollars he decided to donate to the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital. Soon after, Busch Light decided to match the donation — and said they would send King a year's supply of beer with his face on the can.
But after King's good deed was picked up by media outlets, a reporter at the Des Moines Register working on a profile of King discovered two racist jokes he had posted in 2012, when he was 16 years old, reportedly based on something from Comedy Central's "Tosh.0," "comparing black mothers to gorillas and another making light of black people killed in the Holocaust."
King went out of his way to express remorse and Busch Light cut ties with him.
On Wednesday, Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds announced that Saturday, Sept. 28, 2019, was "Carson King Day" in the midwestern state.
Saturday, Sept. 28, 2019, is "Carson King Day" in Iowa. (Office of the Governor of Iowa)
“Individuals like Carson King demonstrate how ‘Iowa Nice’ isn’t just a slogan, but our way of life,” the
proclamation states. "Carson King can showcase who we are as a people, not only by selflessly donating to a worthy cause, but spreading the message of generosity."
King said he's now trying to raise $2 million for the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital.
Additionally, Iowa's Geneseo Brewing Company said they were "appalled" by the Des Moines Register and Anheuser Busch's actions, saying that people grow and change.
"We have witnessed your growth through your later social media content and accept your apologies," the brewing company stated. "We believe that your selfless act to raise funds for the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital is a truly noble act."
The company subsequently said they named a new Pilsner beer called "Iowa Legend" after him, and planned to donate $1 "from every pint and 16-ounce can sold to your cause until the batch is sold out."

I would hope these companies realize the absurdity of their actions. PC is the game nobody wins.

Where can buy a case of "Iowa Legend" Pilsner?
Bet it's a damn sight better than Busch Light dishwater.

A white kid from Iowa may have used a racial slur at some point in time?! OH NOOOO!

I hope the entire paper goes under. Digging dirt on people giving to children's hospitals is just about the best way to get yourself cancelled.

I love pilsners, I'd buy a six pack.

Just checked their Facebook page, lots of people asking if they'll ship. Zero negotiate responses.

While emailing and pounding the Newspaper feels good and more than likely they won't apologize, why not go at AB-Inbev over their dropping the man, give them the bad publicity they so longed to avoid (and I get why in this culture) and pressure them to drop all advertising on Comedy Central Channel...

let's count all the people at The D m register who has raised more than $5,000.00 for any damn thing, except their own damn crack habit

I often wonder how who acuse others could stand for a frisking of their past?

It bring me great joy to see a smug elitist liberal newspaper doing a death helix into the alligator farm pond.

That loser “journalist” has caused quite a lot of pain for himself and his employer. I see this hurting that paper which is thankfully part of a dying breed anyway. Hopefully the Des Moines Register will go tits up. If their subscription is dropping like their social media following they are 100% fuct.

I'm seeing local businesses who will donate half of the proceeds from sales of special drinks to this cause. Also, I've so far seen three different people who have designed and are selling King t-shirts and are donating all of the money.

So a 16 year old kid says something stupid.

And they needed "investigative reporting" to uncover this bit of previously unknown data?
