Auburn men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl took issue with ABC News Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s vaccine claims after the Democrat presidential candidate talked about his beliefs in a recent interview.

Pearl quote-tweeted Fox News Media contributor Jonathan Turley on Monday.

"How is this Ok? How can the media simply edit or censor what a candidate has said about a topic, in this case COVID, because ABC says that it's dangerous or misinformation? Isn't it our job to hear a candidate and determine that for ourselves?" the longtime coach tweeted.

Pearl has been a full-time Division I college basketball coach since 2002. He got his start with Milwaukee and then moved onto Tennessee in 2005. He became the coach at Auburn in 2014 after he was let go by the Volunteers following the 2010-11 season and the announcement of NCAA violations.

He returned to coaching at Auburn in 2014 and has been with the Tigers ever since. Auburn was 21-13 overall in 2022-23 and made the NCAA Tournament.

On Friday, ABC News admitted to editing Kennedy’s remarks after the news outlet pressed him on his stance on vaccines.

Journalist Linsey Davis gave a warning ahead of the interview, telling viewers that the President Biden challenger peddled misinformation and disinformation about vaccines.
