Congratulation to Mariano Rivera, the first unanimous National Baseball Hall of Fame selection in history:
Mariano Rivera went from 19-year-old position player in Panama to collecting the most saves in MLB history.
Today, he'll officially become the first unanimous National Baseball Hall of Fame selection by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. (via @E60) pic.twitter.com/zDsI4jiRvt

And here’s The Daily Beast CRAPPING all over what should have been a wonderful day for Rivera:
Mariano Rivera will enter the MLB Hall of Fame today. He's also spent the last three years serving at the pleasure of a racist president, cozying up to apocalypic bigoted loons, and doing propaganda on behalf of an apartheid state. @thedailybeast https://t.co/D6IBUFsisf

WTF is wrong with them?
Imagine trying to ruin the hall of fame induction of its first ever unanimous selection, a god-fearing man who gives back generously to Latin Americans in need, by sniping that he’s a dirty Jew-lover. What year is this?

We seem to recall when everyone criticized Laura Ingraham for telling LeBron James to “shut up and dribble,” but now it’s totally cool to go after Rivera for his political views?

“Absolutely vile”:
It’s worth noticing that we’re literally at the point where left wing media like @thedailybeast are outing and shaming Black & Hispanic Americans for supporting the President & Israel. They aim to hurt their legacy & their wallet. Can they get anymore desperate? Absolutely vile.

And check out the photo The Daily Beast created for the article:

That sure does look like a kippah:

They placed him on top of a kippah that sits on top of a Star of David. It’s so loud it’s not even a dog whistle anymore and it is deeply disappointing coming from an outlet I usually appreciate very much. pic.twitter.com/FAREXOc1JR— Annika H Rothstein (@truthandfiction) July 21, 2019
Mariano Rivera likes the Jews, and so must be destroyed. pic.twitter.com/s4Mc5gS4nb

Attacking a unanimous first ballot Hall of Famer for his alleged political or religious beliefs is outrageous. Why can't we celebrate the accomplishments of the greatest closer in baseball history without infecting it with politics?#MarianoRivera #HOF2019

“Complete garbage”:
The whole article is basically just an anti-Israel propoganda screed. DB has some good writers, but they also publish some complete garbage. https://t.co/9zcPoDPntc

The Daily Beast will write about this, next:
I can't believe Mo had the temerity to thank Jesus during his speech.

Not in The Daily Beast article? This bit of information from the Washington Examiner:
“However, Rivera did something unique at each park: Before the games, he met with a diverse group of concession workers, ticket takers, custodians, and office clerks — the unseen and unappreciated people who keep baseball running smoothly.” https://t.co/HnQLVi8iIC
