| Subject: Cool: Planned recipient of JAY-Z and NFL donation also has a history of engaging with alt-right Twitter Sat Sep 07, 2019 12:34 am | |
| Yesterday, news emerged that Crushers Club — one of the Chicago organizations to which JAY-Z and Roc Nation plan to donate $200,000 as part of their NFL deal — has a history of cutting dreadlocks and stating that "all lives matter." In the time since, the organization has deleted a number of its controversial tweets. But as journalist Joel D. Anderson points out on Twitter, Crushers Club's liked tweets are still public. Among the tweets that the organization's official Twitter account engaged with are a number of statements from Donald Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr. Many of the liked tweets paint a distrust of journalists and the political left: the account has liked Charlie Kirk tweeting "how could anyone trust the media... journalism is dead," as well as Laura Ingraham saying that "Liberals have failed [Chicago]." Elsewhere, the account has liked two tweets of a Mike Pence quote stating that "police officers are the best of us" — one from Donald Trump, and one from Team Trump.
