Trump fires back at LeBron James after NBA star accuses president of dividing nation
The Washington Times ^ | August 4, 2018 | Dave Boyer

“Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon,” Mr. Trump tweeted late Friday night. “He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!”

“Mike” was an apparent reference to retired NBA legend Michael Jordan.

In an interview with Mr. Lemon on CNN, Mr. James said he feels that the president is “using sports to kinda divide us.”

LeBron James: “Sports has never been something that divides people,” Mr. James said. “It’s always been something that brings someone together.”

What a piece of work. The NFL kneelers sure have brought the country together. /sarc

This is really frustrating to hear.

Trump is diving us over sports?

But the NFL players started this whole thing.

Why is it, that if liberal radical types do something, and then there’s a reaction/backlash against it, the liberals and media pay no attention to the original event, but instead, talk only about the reaction to the event???

I agree.

Again, if not for the MSM carrying the water for these pinheads it wouldn’t be the fiasco that it is.

These liberals always throw the first punch, then whine when the President punches back. I’m sick of these a-holes thinking they’re the only ones who have freedom of speech.

"Where are the republican voices? We have Mitch and Paul. Great."

Where were they for George W. Bush? But to be fair, Bush never fought back, or stood up for himself or the people in his Administration either. He got what he deserved.

I thought the tweet was hilarious because Don Lemon is a true moron. But at the time I thought there was no reason to attack Lebron to make a point about Lemon. I wish that he’d phrased it differently so it wasn’t a slam of Lebron.

Like any liberal-progressive, LeBron fails to look at himself and his fellow liberals. They make these huge accusations and never wonder, if they measure up.

Massive affliction of hypocrisy is a side effect of liberalism.

ESPN has used sports to go so partisan left wing propaganda channel, I don’t hear progressives telling ESPN to stick to sports.

LeBron? Reminds me of an Elton John song.

“Levon, Levon likes his money
He makes a lot they say”

OMG, who cares what this MORON has to say?

Sports figures, actors opinions are like a$$holes, everybody’s got one.

Regarding projection (one of the left’s stock-in-trade tools), the DUmp monkeys are having fits over some anchor, journalist, whatever, named Katy Turner supposedly receiving rape/death threats. They are just shocked, shocked, I tell ya, at this (from what I gather, Tur says that she’s received these threats via internet).

One of their very own, “comedian” Sarah Bernhard, made a public threat, publicized to the media by her very own big mouth, to Sarah Palin that if she ever showed her face in NYC, Bernhard would call upon her “black brothers” to gang rape Palin. This was no anonymous email or tweet, this was Bernhard in the public media.

All the left did was laugh and shrug it off, “no big deal, can’t you guys take a joke?”

Progressive meatheads aren’t used to counter-punches.

President Trump is the best counterpuncher EVAH!

Legalizing abortion in 1973 did a pretty good job of dividing the country. Every gun control debate does a pretty good job of dividing the country. As it stands today, we are very much divided. Half the country are city-dwelling liberals while half the country are rural conservatives, (by and large with lots of exceptions of course). And we are split 50/50. This is why a tiny minority of swing voters in the middle controls everything. When these people vote a bit to the left or the right, they drive the result.
