Twitter mistakenly targets LeVar Burton after LaVar Ball's CNN interview
Warning: Story contains coarse language
LeVar Burton has once again become a target of Twitter users confusing him for LaVar Ball.
The actor, who's best known for his roles of Geordi La Forge on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and as the host of "Reading Rainbow," retweeted one of several angry messages he's received following Ball's interview with CNN on Monday night, in which he continued his feud with President Donald Trump.

@levarburton VERY UNGRATEFUL! https://t.co/UNJ4As8t1r

I understand that @levarburton would have been thankful if @POTUS flew his son home on Air Force 1 because that is exactly what he deserved!
