Ben Stiller's Knicks Tweet Triggers Backlash Over Misread WHCA Dinner Shooting Link
Ben Stiller’s post praising the Knicks’ win was misread by some as a reaction to the WHCA Dinner shooting at the Washington Hilton, sparking a wave of backlash before a Community Note clarified the tweet referred to the Knicks game. The backlash drew reactions from figures like Rep. Nancy Mace and former Trump aide Richard Grenell, and the post went viral with millions of views before the record was set straight. Stiller did not publicly address the confusion and later posted about the Knicks again, while authorities pursued charges against the WHCA shooting suspect, Cole Allen.
