A since-deleted tweet by Los Angeles Lakers basketball star LeBron James about police brutality has been covered extensively on Fox News, and “Outnumbered” co-host Kayleigh McEnany used the controversy to present an unusual hypothetical during a segment on her show Thursday afternoon.
McEnany, who served in the Trump administration as the White House press secretary, speculated on how the reaction to James’ tweet would be different if he were related to her former boss.
“With LeBron James, you know, he had the audacity to mention accountability,” McEnany said. “I would like to see accountability for a leftist saying something wholly inappropriate, putting a target on the back of a police officer. For a moment, think that this was not some celebrity athlete from the left, LeBron James.”
“Let’s say his name was LeBron Trump, and he was a right-wing activist,” she continued. “He would be banned from Twitter and he would lose his job, likely. He’d lose all his sponsorships and he would be relegated to the outskirts of society.”

If LeBron James had a sense of decency he’d both apologize to P.O. Reardon and acknowledge that Reardon’s actions were a by-the-book response to the situation he was confronted with. Had Reardon not opened fire when he did, sixteen-year-old Ma’Khia Bryant would’ve likely injured or killed the girl she was in the act of stabbing when she was shot.
Exactly! She hit the nail on the head.
She’s right, of course.
An upside down world, I see.

No one cares about basketball. Anyone can throw a ball through a hoop. So who cares what some nobody basketball player says? Did he ever do anything productive with his life? I doubt it. Someone who is fine with African Americans stabbing other African Americans but is against a white person who saved an African American from a crazy lunatic trying to stab her doesn’t sound like a believer in Black Lives Matter to me. If you really believe that Black Lives Matter, maybe speak up about the masses of blacks who live in fear that they will get shot, raped or mugged by other blacks in their neighborhoods. There are tens of thousands of such incidents per year and this basketball player doesn’t care. There are more blacks shot on one weekend in Chicago, including children then in a full year by police officers (and the ones shot usually just committed a crime and are resisting arrest). Yet so many people like this basketball player don’t care about all the innocent blacks killed by other blacks. All they care about is when a white cop shoots a black. If you really think that Black Lives Matter, speak up every time a black gets shot because that is a bigger problem and happens hundreds of times more per year than cops shooting unarmed blacks.
Effort. Effort. Big tattoos. Big tattoos.
You too kid can jump.
