Race hustler Shaun King is back again, spreading misinformation via his favorite medium, Twitter.   

The Free Beacon noted that the Black Lives Matter agitator received more than 8,000 re-tweets for a post in which he falsely claimed that Jeffrey Lurie, owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, said he wouldn't hire quarterback Colin Kaepernick because of his gametime protests of the national anthem: 

Sportswriters on the Eagles beat immediately pointed out that King was mischaracterizing Lurie's comments, but their complaints fell on deaf ears.

The transcript and video of the press conference both show that Lurie never said he would not sign Kaepernick for his protest. He simply said that the Eagles were "completely happy with our quarterback situation."

Lurie suggested that if that ever changed, the team would fully evaluate Kaepernick.

"With [former Eagles quarterback] Michael Vick, there was a complete vetting of: ‘How is he as a teammate? What is his character? What is his potential? What is his football intelligence? Can he be a backup?'" he recalled.

Lurie said that he applauded those who took part in social justice activism. But he did add that he found protests of the national anthem disrespectful.

"It has to be respectful," Lurie said before adding that any protest "certainly has to respect the military and the people that serve, the women and men that serve our country, emergency responders, whoever that is."

Perhaps activists like Shaun King would do their cause more justice if they stopped distorting facts and sensationalizing non-issues and instead, focsed on the truth.
