Anheuser-Busch announced it would no longer associate with King after he admitted posting two offensive tweets in 2012 when he was a 16-year-old high school student."Carson King had multiple social media posts that do not align with our values as a brand or as a company and we will have no further association with him," the company said in a statement to CNN.
"Some of the toughest decisions in journalism are about what to publish -- or not," Des Moines Register executive editor Carol Hunter wrote in a Tuesday statement. "The jokes were highly inappropriate and were public posts. Shouldn't that be acknowledged to all the people who had donated money to King's cause or were planning to do so?" Hunter wrote."The counter arguments: The tweets were posted seven years ago, when King was 16. And he was remorseful.

This story is so sad. Another good thing ruined by the media. A reporter dug up old old info from when he was a kid. Just terrible what the media does for a story. Ruins awesome awesome things.
The supposed racist tweets were from Tosh. O. The reporter that found them had more racist and sexist tweets then this guy did Anheuser-Busch also has racist ass posters and s*** from the 90s from their advertisements and supports Tosh.O
Didn’t you see how this worked out for DMRegister? Are you trying to get out ratioed?
Sign it!!!
It’s simple math people... Political correctness+Social Media+Liberal Logic =The death of our society. It’s sad but true. KAG2020 MAGA LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder
Trump has ruined y’all. Oh he’s just a kid, oh it’s just locker room talk Dismiss the evil tropes, dismiss pp of color. Carson King ‼️ One of the tweets compared black mothers to gorillas and another joked about black people who were killed in the Holocaust‼️
Good for him, the Racist MF. I suppose the stipulation of the money he raised is that no Black people can benefit at that hospital. Just as a leopard can't change its spots, a Racist can't change his. I bet he's related to Rep. Steve King....
Oh come on
Jesus Christ cnn. Way to feed into it. “Racist tweets”. He quoted tosh.
Gonna be a long time before I buy their beer again. They were impressing me for once with Jim Beam flavored beer
Holy shit, how are you so bad at this?
You are the enemy of the people.
The guy was 16 when he wrote the tweets. Instead of today’s fucked society looking for negatives all the time why don’t we praise him for donating money he could have kept to children.
F the kids. The important thing here is that the social justice warriors claimed another scalp.
Can we cancel CNN?
Better headline would have included what happened to the journalist who dug up his old tweets in the first place. But both sides would have been asking too much of CNN I guess.
you are truly the enemy of the people cc redsteeze
This old ad surfaced today....care to explain AnheuserBusch
White male. Say no more. Destroy this persons life. He probably has some old black face photos as well. Get your interns in it
Heh, he did so well busch looked for a way to get out of the deal. I mean, the corporate officers can't give up their bonuses, now can they.
Thank you. I had forgotten to say GoFuckYourselfCNN today!
If ur mother didn't teach u to mind ur manners u won't like the way the world teaches u. Ur behavior will always have a way of catching up with u eventually. Horrible racists things are in no way funny. Life lesson hopefully learned.
'Aaron Calvin, saying that looking at a person's public social media posts was a routine part of working on a profile.' It's just not part of the routine in hiring someone at their paper? Got it.
But the beer company is a sponsor of the television show that he quoted the Jokes from. Interesting.
This world is so incredibly F***ING sensitive. Is toughness gone forever in America? What a joke!
Yeah, arrest him for telling joke when he was 16. Reeee
I thought we weren't allowed to go after 16 year olds
1 cause of lost funds in 2019 is old racist tweets.
gotta give people a chance to put bad things behind them
Lol. Raciest. Lmao. Could be worse. He could say he was a democrat
I've learned that racism has no place in the galaxy. Mandalorians have no place either, though.
Why do people always have to try and destroy good things? It seems this is the new normal these days.
Leftist media did their best to destroy this guy.

Can we please stop letting what people said or thought in the past define them today. People aren’t one dimensional they evolve in their thinking.
