Colon, his podcast co-host Brandon Newman, and Barstool employee Kevin Clancy became the subject of additional controversy in August of 2020. While discussing the shooting of Jacob Blake on an episode of the "2 Biggs" podcast[https://podcast9.com/share/episode/W8YTnewki/kenosha-wisconsin-feat-kfc], Colon, Newman and Clancy omitted critical facts of the case that were known at the time and would ultimately lead to the exoneration of the officer involved. Though the three repeatedly mentioned Blake being shot seven times in the back, no mention was made of the fact that Blake was reaching for a knife in a car full of children at the time of the shooting. The hosts also made no mention of Blake continuing to violently resist arrest despite being repeatedly warned and tased, violating a restraining order, and having an outstanding arrest warrant for third degree sexual assault charges. Additionally, the hosts falsely labeled Kyle Rittenhouse as a "murderer".[https://x.com/brandonjnewman_/status/1299187464951791619] The episode received significant backlash from Barstool's audience and was later removed from barstool's website.[https://www.barstoolsports.com/podcast/2812217/kenosha-wisconsin-feat.-kfc] Colon left the company in 2021 when Barstool ended its contract with Sirius. |
