This claim is very misleading.
We currently have two highly successful theories, which has stood up to everything that's been thrown at them.
General relativity and quantum mechanics.
They each work beautifully describing those phenomena they are designed to describe, and they both fail miserably when describing the part the other handles.
Arguing that Harking radiation contradicts general relativity doesn't actually say anything about Hawking radiation, it only says something about your ignorance of the areas covered by general relativity.
