You know what’s funny? Watching the Left accuse Donald Trump and his supporters of being Nazis in one breath and actually acting like fascists the next. We have gone beyond political discourse, even political fighting, into outright threatening people’s jobs, families, and even their lives because they support Trump.
See Peter Fonda.
And it’s only getting worse, like this nonsense from GQ writer Nathaniel Friedman who doesn’t think Kevin McHale should ever work at the NBA again because he attended a Trump Rally. No, we’re not making this up.
Kevin McHale is extremely stupid for attending a public Trump event. That, as much as his politics, is why he should never work in the NBA again

REALLY?! You guys remember Nathaniel, right? He’s the guy who had to apologize for saying he wanted to beat Pat Smith to death.
He’s a real peach.
Kevin McHale went to a Donald Trump rally last night in Minnesota and now the far left wing lunatic fringe of sports media & their supporters are demanding he be fired from calling NBA games by TNT and banned from the NBA. This is absolute insanity.

And of COURSE the moment he started to get called out he backtracked:
I never said he should be banned. I said he was an idiot for going to a public Trump rally because of the backlash.
— Nathaniel Friedman (@freedarko) June 21, 2018
What does this genius think ‘he should never work in the NBA again’ means?
It’s amazing how quickly people are to claim they didn’t say what they actually said once they get called out. ? pic.twitter.com/Q4GDjSVP8o

Trump Derangement Syndrome is real.
Seriously, all you have to do to figure out what Nathaniel meant is to look at his train wreck of a timeline.
"well actually Kevin McHale is just exercising his right to free speech and if he's not hired again it's blackballing!!!!"

Notice his pretty blue check.
The president is putting children in cages and drugging them but his people are livid because they think I've compromised Kevin McHale's right to free speech.

We may have finally found someone who almost makes Chelsea Handler seem sane.
Almost.
My point was that, given what the reaction will likely be in and around the NBA, it was a dumb move. I know what politics the owners have. Doesn't mean they'd want to hire someone this boneheaded.
— Nathaniel Friedman (@freedarko) June 21, 2018
Says the bonehead.
I thought the Left applauded athletes & celebrities who get politically active? https://t.co/cwU7D3I7Vh

I am referring to how the move will be perceived by players, coaches, and fans. Not my take on his politics.

Wow, would someone please get a shovel? There is a LOT of bullsh*t to shovel here …
Oh no he has an opinion that isn’t popular I guess that means we have to make sure he never finds work again in his profession…GROW UP PEOPLE https://t.co/iLynJO4jOq

“that, as much as his politics, is why he should never work in the NBA again” sounds pretty cut and dry to me
— Tyler Wilcox (@johnnymyspace) June 21, 2018
Stupid people shouldn't get jobs.
— Nathaniel Friedman (@freedarko) June 21, 2018
And yet someone hired him.
Funny how that works.
