Remember the entourage President-elect Donald Trump had with him when he arrived for his first appearance at UFC at Madison Square Garden after his electoral victory? It was great: He was flanked by Elon Musk, Speaker Mike Johnson, Vivek Ramaswamy, Kid Rock, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Tulsi Gabbard for starters.

Trump’s guests at Saturday’s Army-Navy game are just as illustrious: Vice President J.D. Vance has invited Daniel Penny, and Pete Hegseth and Gov. Ron DeSantis will be in the box as well.

Our own Warren Squire will post later about how Vance was right to invite Penny to sit next to him. Until then, check out HuffPost’s take on the acquitted Penny being invited to the game.

The many acquitted of killing Jodan Neely, who was threatening to kill passengers on the subway, will sit beside the future president and vice president — see, that wasn’t that tough to get right.

HuffPost got hit with a ratio as well as a Community Note:

Readers added context they thought people might want to know

The post is purposely misleading. Penny stood trial and was acquitted by a jury of his peers. He did not kill a “homeless Black man”. He immobilized someone who was threatening to kill innocent people on the subway, including a mother with a young child in her stroller.

Never mind what the jury trial decided — to HuffPost, Penny is still the man accused of killing Neely.

It’s almost like they did it on purpose.

They didn’t have space to note Neely’s 42 arrests in their headline?

Accused by whom? The HuffPost editorial board? He was acquitted.
