Prominent Black Lives Matter (BLM) activist Shaun King threatened the New York Post reporters who publicized his lavish spending of donor cash in two Instagram posts, warning the reporters that he will push back on them.

King accused the reporters of causing “white supremacists to show up at my doorstep to terrify my wife and kids” in the caption of one of the posts, which depict headshots of NY Post reporters Isabel Vincent and Kevin Sheehan. The journalists had each written unflattering stories pertaining to King’s questionable use of donation funds.

“I know where you live. Where you used to live. Where your family lives. Where they work. Where they play,” King wrote in one of the posts. “I’m going to at least make it uncomfortable for you,” King continued in regard to the reporters. Beyond the doxxing threats, King asserted the reporters “aren’t going to post about my personal life without consequence” in one of the captions.

Vincent wrote a story in July 2021 exposing King for living in a swanky New Jersey lake house despite billing himself as a champion of the downtrodden and marginalized. Sheehan co-wrote an article Tuesday which publicized King’s political action committee purchasing a dog for $40,000.

King subsequently responded to his critics. “I need you to know this so that you understand why our family not only needs a guard dog at home, but 24/7 security wherever we go.⁣ White supremacists and people who’ve meant my family harm have now shown up to our last three homes. Multiple times,⁣” King wrote in an Instagram post defending the purchase of his expensive pooch as criticism mounted. (RELATED: Shaun King Claims He’s The Real Victim Of His Own False Reporting)

The controversy over the purchase of the dog was not the first time King was publicly questioned and criticized for his use of donation funds and lavish spending after establishing himself as a leading figure in the BLM movement.

The mother of a Cleveland boy killed by police officers criticized King in June 2021, accusing him of co-opting the boy’s death to raise and capture funds. “I don’t understand how you sleep at night,” the mother wrote in reference to King in an Instagram post at the time, according to the NY Post.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
