Sounds like Shaun King is at it again.

Now, when last we left this singularly ridiculous person, he was justifying taking down any statues of Jesus that might suggest that Jesus was white, as well as taking down those of his mother, the Virgin Mary, because ‘white supremacy.’

Yes, I think the statues of the white European they claim is Jesus should also come down.

They are a form of white supremacy.

Always have been.

In the Bible, when the family of Jesus wanted to hide, and blend in, guess where they went?

EGYPT!

Not Denmark.

Tear them down.

Yes.

All murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus, and his European mother, and their white friends should also come down.

They are a gross form white supremacy.

Created as tools of oppression.
Racist propaganda.

They should all come down.

After his comments, there was a rash of attacks on Catholic Churches and statues. Cause and effect? Coincidence?

But in the wake of the shooting of BLM member Garrett Foster in Austin, Texas, Shaun King put up an incredibly false Facebook post.

So for background as we reported previously, Foster and a group of his BLM cohort surrounded a car during one of their marches in the street. According to the police, some in the group were banging on the car. The police chief said that they believe Foster may have aimed his gun at the motorist. The motorist said he then fired at Foster. Then, the police believe that a second person in the crowd fired at the motorist as he was driving away. The motorist called the police and told them what had occurred.

This is one of those stories that everyone should hold their water on until more facts come out, right? Just out of common sense.

But Shaun was off to the races with this one, to his over 1 million followers on Facebook.

Similar to the right-wing tweet that I said was factually inaccurate, Shaun King just wrote a Facebook post he knows is inaccurate.

• Foster was armed
• The driver in the car did not fire 8 shots. Someone in the crowd (not Foster) also fired shots pic.twitter.com/yzroTJ0F2T

So, let’s see. Foster was armed with an AK-47 and was allegedly involved in stopping the motorist’s car. It’s not clear where the fiancee was yet, but if in fact he was pointing a gun at the motorist as the police think may be the case and as pictures appear to show, it would be pretty hard trying to push a wheelchair at the same time. There’s no indication from the police or the videos that the motorist tried to run people over nor did he fire 8 times, according to the police.

King goes on to say how heartbreaking it is and to call him a “modern martyr for civil rights.” No, aiming at a motorist, if he did so, not okay.

Then, because he’s Shaun King, what comes next? The ask for money. It’s what he does. It’s like yes, I know you’re all upset and I’m spreading this fake news to jack it up more, now solve your upset by donating money to the cause I have control over.

So where is Facebook with the hook for his post? As of this writing, it’s still up.

As my colleague Streiff reported, he wasn’t the only one spreading nonsense about the case.
