For those who don’t know, Carson King was the college student that had the sign on College Gameday, and had gone on to raise over $1 million for local children’s hospital. Aaron Calvin, with Des Moines Register, thought it was needed to dig up old tweets from 16 yo Carson King.

Carson King raises $1mil

Des Moines Register Article

In response, Anheuser-Busch have decided to disassociate with King due to the past tweets.... from 8 years ago.

People grow and CHANGE as they mature. God, if we all had to defend what we said and did as 16 year olds.

Well, those children don't need as many dollars and prayers as he does. Good on you, Des Moines Paper.

That’s a damn shame. Only thing worse than that “journalist” is the newspaper that ran the story. The whole article would’ve been fine if that jackass didn’t have to get his 15 minutes of fame. What a count.

That sucks, but at least they’re still matching the donations.

Journalism is nothing but tabloid trash. They took a perfectly good gesture, that made everyone feel good and positive, and took a dump all over it.

If he was a fricking liberal it’d be okay though.

That’s not journalism. That’s pettiness and jealousy given a platform and made to look legitimate. And all it’s going to do is hurt what has probably been the most successful fund raising campaign that children’s hospital has seen in a while.

I wonder how they feel about the newspaper killing their golden goose?

It wasn’t journalism that did this. It was the progressives vying for control of our country and lives.

A routine background check of King's social media revealed two racist jokes, one comparing black mothers to gorillas and another making light of black people killed in the holocaust. The joke tweets date back to 2012, when King was a 16-year-old high school student.


Routine for fricking losers who would be better off suck starting a shotgun.

The jackass reporter has had his own tweets from the same time period dig up now. He’s going to get himself fired. When cancel culture backfires.

Now a petition with over 37,000 signatures for the paper to apologize. This is hilarious. LINK
