In case twitter doesn’t work for you, this is his response to someone asking if he (Big E) is aware of Lars’ past racist/sexist posts:
I had been worried this had somehow gone unnoticed, mainly due to the lack of coverage by the wrestling community, but I’m glad to hear that the talent is aware of who they’re working with. I can’t imagine he’s been getting the best reception from the Smackdown locker room.

I was aware that Lars had posted some questionable stuff online before today but I didn't know the specifics.
Having read a comprehensive list of his online posts I have to say it's utterly utterly shocking.
He has said some of the most disgusting racist, homophobic, sexist just horrible things you could imagine. How has he not been fired yet? How the f*** is he getting a big push???!?!
Good on Big E for speaking up.

It's still insane that he's employed and pushed despite obvious bigotry. I guess they can't prove it's him, otherwise he'd be out.

Thing is, he can't do a Hogan-style apology or claim it's in the past and he deserves a second chance because he's literally calling people triggered snowflakes on Twitter. This man is doomed.

It’s crazy he said ish about truth and years later he’s sit down powerbombing the hell out of him.

Good for Big E not beating around the bush. Flat out used the word "bigot" and spelled out that the roster has no time for that. Management may not give a toss, but the wrestlers certainly do.
The New Day guys really do seem to have leeway, both creatively and in terms of things they take a stand on. I like to see them exercise that power.

And he can’t do the classic “oh I said some stuff when I was young” bullshit, because some of his posts were from when he was in his 20s, as he was signing with WWE.

Big E's been shooting a lot on Twitter since he's been injured so to see him say this is what's needed.

Big E really sounds here like he's neutrally implying some stuff about how people are already looking at him without saying as much.

Sounds like he never addressed it in the locker room so I assume they are giving him the side eye real crazy
New Day got a bunch of power and can be seen as locker room leaders so yeah best believe this neutral statement by Big E holds weight

I would love to see a spot where Sullivan gets a milkshake thrown in his face. They are in the UK next week too.

I read the first couple posts and it seemed more political than disgusting then it got bad, then really bad than we reached disgusting.
That’s pretty ugly and he can’t hide behind being a dumb kid just trying for laughs

What blows my mind is some of the comments are about guys in the locker room now, like Kofi and R-Truth.

probably another reason it's so miserable in the WWE now, you see a guy like Sullivan come in who is a clear bigot and it seems like the company couldn't give a crap about it

How has he not been fired yet? there's an explanation you could type here saying the company has no respect for it's talent or fans, but to save time and put it in a more succint form, this gif -

I'm really glad to see this Lars thing starting to build some traction again. It's bullshit that they're laying it on so damn thick with pushing this guy with this kind of history.

Dain or Harper deserve to be getting the push Lars Snitsky is getting Snitsky will be remembered for a long time due to his catchphrase and punting the baby. If WWE do the right thing and fire him as soon as he's written off TV, doubt anyone will remember him in 6 months time.

Big E. is just the best. He gives no f***s, and he KNOWS WWE aren't going fire him, they're not even gonna try.
