Liberal Media Lied About A Young Chiefs Fan And Karma Has Never Been This Swift
Maybe it’s because Taylor Swift herself is a Chiefs fan too now, but Karma is a guy at the Chiefs indeed. Justice for a nine-year-old Chiefs fan against liberal media lies seems to have come more quickly than usual.
Following the Sunday games, the media outlet Deadspin posted a misleading photo of a young Kansas City Chiefs fan which made it appear that he was wearing black face while in a traditional native chieftain headdress. The headline from Carron J. Phillips read (and, breathtakingly, still reads) “The NFL needs to speak out against the Kansas City Chiefs fan in Black face, Native headdress” and featured a photo of the side of his face making it appear that he was, in-fact, in black face.
Thanks to Elon Musk and his appreciation for free speech and truth, the community notes feature on X quickly came to the defense of the young boy by showing that he was actually wearing both black AND red face paint (the colors of the Kansas City Chiefs).
But the story doesn’t end there. Real journalists uncovered that the boy is actually a tribal member himself and in fact, his grandfather, Raul Armenta, sits on the board of his tribe the Santa Ynez.
So not only did this young boy not wear black face whatsoever but he is also not appropriating native culture being that he is himself indigenous and his grandfather is a tribal leader.
Phillips and Deadspin have revealed exactly the kind of moral character they have and exactly what progressive values do to one’s integrity and morality by not only refusing to retract the categorically false story against a very young child but doubling down and trying to shame the boy even further.
Phillips not only did not retract his patently false story which almost certainly libeled a young child, but he doubled down by quoting the boy’s own tribe saying they don’t want their members wearing traditional garb as ‘costume.’ But the tribe never went so far as to condemn the boy. Even with that new statement trying to justify his lie of an article, Phillips never retracted his statements that the boy was in blackface which he absolutely was not.
Not only does Phillips’ commitment to his embarrassing lie harm the young boy (for no reason) but it also takes the teeth out of real incidents of racism that may occur in the future. The Karen Carron who cried wolf, hurts the credibility of real offenses.
In the words of the Queen Chiefs fan herself (Taylor Swift obviously) – Carron J. Phillips: All you are is mean. And a liar. And pathetic.
