Huffington Post Hires 9/11 Truther Donte Stallworth to Cover National Security

You can’t make it up. 

On Wednesday, the Huffington Post announced that former NFL player Donte Stallworth, a 9/11 truther who also once killed a pedestrian while driving drunk, will cover national security for the outlet. 

In 2009, the University of Tennessee alum killed a pedestrian while driving under the influence. After pleading guilty to manslaughter, he spent nearly a month in jail and was banned from the NFL for a year. He is also a 9/11 truther and a vaccine conspiracy theorist

What could have attracted him to the elite media?

In recent years, he has been a prominent supporter of gay marriage and openly gay players in the NFL. That may have boosted his standing considerably in the mainstream and left-wing media worlds. 

Stallworth was drafted by the New Orleans Saints and has played for the Redskins, Browns, Patriots, Ravens, and Eagles.

Update: Around 11:30am Thrusday, Stallworth said on Twitter he no longer feels the same way he did when he wrote there was “no evidence” that bin Laden was connected to the 9/11 attacks.
