A Cancel Culture Reporter attacks a philanthropists tweet, and gets exposed for his own racist tweets.

- A 24 year old guy, Carson King, put up a sign at a televised "College GameDay" that said "Busch Light Supply Needs Replenished" with his Venmo username.
- He raised thousands of dollars by accident, and when he said he was donating it to the local children's hospital, a couple of sponsors agreed to match it. And via publicity for that, he raised over $2M.
- So a cancel culture "reporter" (Aaron Calvin), decided to investigate Carson and pointed out that he'd made two racially insulting tweets in his mid teens (shocking I know), as if that's relevant to his current act of charity.
- Carson immediately apologized.
- There was a backlash against the Paper/Reporter, and people dug into the reporters (Aaron Calvin) background, and found racially insensitive tweets he'd made... and the Aaron was fired in delicious irony.
- Instead of (Aaron Calvin) apologizing for being a douche or for his own bad tweets, he blamed "right-wing ideologues" for his firing and suggested he'd experienced oppression like "women and journalists of color" face in the industry.
Cry me a river pouty McTroll, you're just mad because your hate post boomeranged.
