Who is Jason Whitlock? Black reporter LOCKED OUT of Twitter for criticizing Patrisse Khan-Cullors's $1.4M home
On Monday, April 12, Jason Whitlock faced Twitter trouble when he criticized Black Lives Matters co-founder Patrisse Khan-Cullors' $1.4M home. He was locked out of the microblogging site, which naturally left him furious and confused in equal measure.
For the longest time, Black Lives Matters' finances have been questioned. Whitlock, 53, was following suit when he made a very direct comment on the said platform. Talking to Daily Mail, the African-American journalist said that Twitter has been meaning to "de-platform" him for a while now.

"BLM is one of Big Tech's sacred cows," Whitlock told Daily Mail and added: "I’ve been harping on the fraudulence and the financial grift of BLM for years. I think Twitter has been looking for an excuse to de-platform me." The now-unavailable tweet was simple and direct. A fellow journalist shared a screengrab of how Whitlock's Twitter dashboard looked like after being locked out of the system. He had tweeted: "Black Lives Matter founder buys $1.4 million home in Topanga, which has a black population of 1.4%. She's with her people!."
The photo of the screengrab reads that the tweet he had posted violated Twitter's rules against posting private information. Will Whitlock's account, which enjoys an impressive following, ever get activated? Only time will tell.
Last fall, Whitlock interviewed former President Donald Trump at the White House for OutKick. This aside, he has frequently appeared on Fox News’ 'Tucker Carlson Tonight' and 'The Ingraham Angle'. He has also guest-hosted Glenn Beck’s national radio/digital TV show for Blaze Media multiple times, Front Office Sports reported.
Talking to the publication, Jason said earlier this year how he would never leave sports and that it is pretty much in the same lane as politics and culture. "I’m going to continue doing what I’ve been doing since I became a columnist at the Ann Arbor News in 1992. I’m going to blend it all together. I’m a culture critic who has used sports to analyze culture. Now I’ll just analyze culture. Where I’m going to do it is yet to be determined."
In other news, BLM head Hawk Newsome has called for "an independent investigation" to find out how the global network spends its money, New York Post reported. In the same article, the outlet also revealed details from Patrisse Khan-Cullors' real-estate buying binge. Reportedly, she snagged four high-end homes for $3.2 million. She has also been eyeing properties in the Bahamas, where Justin Timberlake and Tiger Woods are said to own homes. According to a local agent, the townhouses range between $5 million to $20 million.
