The recently released Daily Wire documentary called “The Greatest Lie Ever Sold” highlights some of the major oversights from the mainstream media’s coverage of George Floyd’s death and the subsequent riots that erupted in the summer of 2020.
Daily Wire co-founder and radio host Ben Shapiro said Thursday that attempts to censor information about Floyd other than what most people believe to be true, is the reason Candace Owens made the documentary.
“Some of the things that you’re not supposed to talk about regarding George Floyd’s death is the simple fact that a different angle shows that Derek Chauvin’s knee is actually on the back of George Floyd not on the back of George Floyd’s neck,” he said.
Shapiro said that evidence surfaced during the trial in testimony from witnesses for the prosecution.
“Truth is of very little consequence when you’re trying to establish a narrative of the supposed racism of the United States more broadly,” Shapiro said.
On Wednesday, NPR reported that the family of George Floyd will file a $250 million lawsuit against Ye, the rapper formerly known as Kanye West, following comments he made about Floyd’s death on the podcast “Drink Champs.”
The rapper suggested that Floyd’s cause of death may not have been a knee on the neck but rather a fatal overdose. Ye was seen with Owens at the premiere of “The Greatest Lie Ever Sold.”
