Speaking with the media on Saturday night, Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving addressed some controversial social media posts he made recently.
A reporter asked Irving about a post he made last month of a video from conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Irving denounced Jones and his beliefs about Sandy Hook, which Jones claimed was faked.
But he said the video he posted was from the “early ’90s or late ’90s about secret societies in America of occults.” He noted that he believed the video to be true.
“So I wasn’t identifying with anything of being a campaignist for Alex Jones or anything,” he said. “It’s funny; it’s actually hilarious because out of all the things I posted that day, that was the one post that everyone chose to see. It just goes back to the way our world is and works. I’m not here to complain about it. I just exist.”
Irving got into a heated back-and-forth with the reporter after he was asked about promoting the documentary Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America. It’s reported that the 2018 film is filled with antisemitic tropes.
Irving denied that his post should be considered a form of promotion when asked about the backlash he’s received following his tweet containing a link to the film’s Amazon page.
“Can you please stop calling it a promotion? What am I promoting?” he said. “Let’s move on. Let’s move on. Let’s move on, don’t dehumanize me up here.”
Irving explained that he could post whatever he wants on his social media and refused to discuss it any further.
