Kyrie Irving is one of the last remaining athletes that has held his truth no matter what the cost is.
Irving was asked about his previous retweet of an Alex Jones Video where Jones states “‘Yes there have been corrupt empires. Yes, they manipulate. Yes, there are secret societies. Yes, there have been oligarchies throughout history.”
The video would continue with Jones saying “And yes, today in 2002, there is a tyrannical organization calling itself the New World Order…by releasing diseases and viruses and plagues upon us, we then basically get shoved into their system.’
The reporter attempted to condemn Irving for “supporting” Alex Jones to which Irving stated he doesn’t support any comments about what Jones said about the Sandy Hook shooting but it’s “true” what Jones stated about the occult and secret societies.

Here was the original video Irving posted:

ESPN reported these details:
Irving also made it clear Saturday night that he is not a supporter of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, despite having posted a video of Jones’ last month. Jones recently lost a defamation lawsuit in Connecticut court and was ordered to pay almost $1 billion to families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook mass shooting “for falsely claiming they were actors who faked the tragedy,” according to Reuters.
“That was a few weeks ago,” Irving said. “I do not stand with Alex Jones’ position, narrative, court case that he had with Sandy Hook, or any of the kids that felt like they had to relive trauma. Or parents that had to relive trauma. Or to be dismissive to all the lives that were lost during that tragic event. My post was a post from Alex Jones that he did in the early ’90s or late ’90s about secret societies in America of occults. And it’s true.
Lately, Irving has been under fire for sharing a tweet that links to a movie called “Hebrews to Negroes” which reportedly talks about “many famous high-ranking Jews” have “admitted” to “worship[ing] Satan or Lucifer.”

Now Irving is being deemed as anti-semitic:
The brand of anti-Semitism that @KyrieIrving is trafficking in may not be as well-known as the “Kanye admires Hitler” kind, but it is no less virulent. From his vaccine misinformation to hyping up Alex Jones, it’s been evident he is dangerously ignorant. https://t.co/R3GHNkoYCz

The New York Post shared these details:
Kyrie Irving disagrees with the implication he is anti-Semitic.
After the Nets star on Thursday tweeted a link to “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America,” a 2018 film that is filled with anti-Semitic disinformation, he began to receive blowback from his employers on Friday. A Rolling Stone story cited the film’s statements, including claims that “many famous high-ranking Jews” have “admitted” to “worship[ing] Satan or Lucife.” The report called the film “venomously anti-Semitic.”
“I am an OMNIST and I meant no disrespect to anyone’s religious beliefs,” Irving posted to Twitter on Saturday afternoon. “The ‘Anti-Semitic’ label that is being pushed on me is not justified and does not reflect the reality or truth I live in everyday. I embrace and want to learn from all walks of life and religions.”
