Ah, Brian, who is he? What team? What team did he play for? That\u2019s right, for the Boston Celtics. Kevin McHale. He\u2019s a veteran of the NBA, many, many, many, many moons ago. Well, he went to the Trump rally last night in Duluth. Does that surprise you? Eh, no big deal. Kevin McHale. He\u2019s a former player, a good player. He was a star player in the NBA and a coach.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-277427\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-062118-Kevin-McHale.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-062118-Kevin-McHale.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/APP-062118-Kevin-McHale-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>He went to the Trump rally in Duluth, and now a fringe, left-wing lunatic of sports media tweeted the following: &#8220;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.&#8221; Now, it says the tweet here\u2019s from Nathaniel Friedman. But one of the many reasons I don\u2019t tweet is \u2019cause I don\u2019t know who\u2019s sending a tweet and who\u2019s responding to one to reply. I can\u2019t figure Twitter out, and I am a tech wizard.<\/p>\n<p>But when I look at a tweet, I don\u2019t know who sent it and who\u2019s received it. I can\u2019t&#8230; My brother tried to explain it to me, but I\u2019m too smart; I\u2019m too logical. If you have a plethora of logic like I do, you can\u2019t figure it out, \u2019cause it doesn\u2019t make any sense. So I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m looking here. It looks to me like somebody named Nathaniel Friedman sent the tweet, but then there\u2019s a name after that called @freedarko. So I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s his handle. No idea. So I\u2019m not gonna quote the guy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;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.&#8221; Now there are a number of sports media and supporters demanding that Kevin McHale be fired. He currently is a broadcaster of NBA games on TNT. They\u2019re now demanding that he be fired from TNT and banned altogether from the NBA just because he went to the Trump rally. Now, that is insanity. Stupidity. Some people might say, &#8220;Rush, this is not how&#8230; This is dangerous.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jUkDWalgVJs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Well, yeah, but it\u2019s just&#8230; It\u2019s stupid, it\u2019s insane, and it is an open window on who and what we are up against. These people are indeed Stalinists. You know, power to these people means being able to boss other people around, and that\u2019s why it\u2019s dangerous. Leftists like big power and Big Government because they want to use it to punish. That\u2019s what they think power is for, and this is just another illustration or indication of that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: They&#039;re now demanding that he be fired from TNT and banned altogether from the NBA just because he went to the Trump rally. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":277427,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
