On 2 March 2016, Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King tweeted footage of University of Louisville student Shiya Nwanguma being roughly handled by multiple people at a Donald Trump rally in Louisville, Kentucky: The article linked to an editorial written by King for the New York Daily News. He described the footage, voicing his distaste for the many participants who either shoved Nwanguma or failed to intervene: On 3 March 2016, King tweeted a follow-up editorial (also published by New York Daily News). In that piece,, King linked to additional footage of the incident (during which Trump can be heard in the background speaking about when we were less politically correct): King maintained that Pryor bragged about his role in the incident on Facebook (we were unable to find those particular postings) and wrote: King's update was corroborated by Louisville-area station WDRB. In that report, an anchor stated Pryor flaunted his involvement by sharing the now-viral image reproduced above. WDRB included a longer statement issued by the United States Marine Corps about the controversy: So while it was true the individual depicted was Joseph Pryor, Pryor was not yet a Marine. According to the United States Marine Corps' statement, Pryor was discharged from the Marines' Delayed Entry Program, and at that time had not yet enlisted.
