Black Lives Matter provocateur and New York Daily News columnist Shaun King continues to push his brand of hate-filled divisive activism and has recently used his newfound notoriety to take on CNN anchor Don Lemon for, get this, thinking independently.
It seems King took things a little too far for CNN when he decided to make things personal on Twitter – very personal.
Oh wow. @CNN had Twitter lock my account over that Don Lemon tweet. Madness. Getting my haircut. Hold on… pic.twitter.com/ubVNQnat6l

The whole debacle supposedly started when Lemon’s producer reached out to King for an interview to discuss Quentin Tarantino’s anti-police rhetoric. King promptly, and rather dramatically, declined has he proudly boasted for the whole world-wide-web to see. 
Only when King posted the email exchange he didn’t have Lemon’s booking agent’s information blocked out. Bad form, King, really bad. CNN apparently fought back by having Twitter temporarily lock down King’s account until he corrected the “mistake.” But not before King took to social media, again, to scream “victim.” Poor little King.
Email said if I didn’t delete it my account would stay locked. Let me say it again, but a bit differently. Foolishness. — Shaun King (@ShaunKing) November 4, 2015
You know what. Screw it. Screw them. I’m not in a pissing contest with @cnn over this foolishness. I have work to do. You got my point?

@ShaunKing @CNN laying more flowers on the grave of Freedom of Speech. Which tweet Shaun? Seriously and really @ this — Amy (@amymeansjustice) November 4, 2015
While the original King tweet was “on hold” there were enough followers to know what really happened. And they were all too eager to call him on it.
@ShaunKing It is not foolishness, you doxed someone. That is inappropriate and they had every right to suspend your account. Last straw.

@ShaunKing @CNN Bruh… You doxxed someone which is against twitter rules. Not hard to understand.

But King has a lot of fans, and not everyone was grasping they were being duped.
@ShaunKing @CNN that is insane… Since when does the press feel it’s okay to act as censor? Ugggh we must do better! — Darcy Totten (@Darcytotten) November 5, 2015
CNN wants the personal contact info blurred out, ill-informed citizen.
.@ShaunKing Hey, I don’t know, here’s a thought: Maybe redact her phone number and email address? @CNN @donlemon
