That should’ve ended there, but it didn’t. The two continued to bicker over Twitter, with Shields challenging “The Truth” to another go around, this time at the nearby Xtreme Couture.
The best part is when he’s begging for someone to help him

You mean "XC", bozo? The white nationalism fucked your brain up. https://t.co/jqozZSd3WY

I bet you are at XC and not the PI. You were banned because you couldn't control the white fragility running through your nazi veins. You're nothing but a vile thug, yakub. https://t.co/dIgBPqHa7L
