I cant believe how many fell for his nonsense.
Budi
(15,325 posts)5. He's a grifting fraud. That's why.
King has been accused of raising funds for causes that were never received by those he was fundraising for, including at Justice Together after King abruptly closed the organization. A former member of the organization who asked to have a donation returned said that King refused to refund her money.

(8,251 posts)9. Grifters never go away -- they just rebrand.
Beware of him and whatever schtick he's got going on when he inevitably returns.
tishaLA
(14,297 posts)10. Probably a hell of a story about to break about him
Let's hope it's "good bye" and not "see ya later."
obamanut2012
(27,637 posts)12. I've thought for years he was lying about his background
And, it seems like Black Twitter does, too.
At least Rachel Dolezal seemed to have a sincere desire to do good, even if she did it in a bonkers, fucked up way.
Budi
(15,325 posts)13. He ran his mouth against Kamala Harris
Tarc
(10,554 posts)14. A grifter as fake as Rachel Dolezal
Good riddance
