No, she is.

She tries to criticize the way they are speaking in a casual conversation, when Trump himself barely makes any kind of sense at all any time he opens his mouth.

Not to mention LeBron is a better person than Trump in literally every way you can imagine.

But God forbid a black celebrity speak out against Trump. They need to just shut up.

Trump makes plenty of sense and is educated. LeBron is a HS drop out ignoramous and Laura is right.

Why make it about race? Do you want people to not be criticized if they happen to be black?

"In 2003, I wrote a New York Times bestseller called 'Shut Up & Sing,' in which I criticized celebrities like the Dixie Chicks & Barbra Streisand who were trashing then-President George W. Bush. I have used a variation of that title for more than 15 years to respond to performers who sound off on politics. Ive told Robert DeNiro to 'Shut Up & Act,' Jimmy Kimmel to 'Shut Up & Make Us Laugh,' and just this week told the San Antonio Spurs Gregg Popovich to 'Shut up & Coach.' If pro athletes and entertainers want to freelance as political pundits, then they should not be surprised when theyre called out for insulting politicians. There was no racial intent in my remarks - false, defamatory charges of racism are a transparent attempt to immunize entertainment and sports elites from scrutiny and criticism. Additionally, we stated on my show that these comments came from an ESPN podcast, which was not the case - the content was unaffiliated with ESPN."

are you out of your fuckin mind? she has no right to dictate who does and doesn't get to voice their political opinion.

It was in response to the attacks calling her racist. It wasn't. At all.

The shut up part is arguably rude but if that's her socially accepted gimmick then it shows how uninformed the outraged are.

You are 100% correct that she has no right to dictate who does and doesn't get to voice their political opinion. Her response was to people calling her racist for saying it to a black man, and she listed off all the other times she's told other people the same thing. It's fair for her to defend against completely baseless racism claims because people like TC will take the comment in a vacuum and then label her something she (at least for this) isn't.

Precisely. Her own network will promote the views of similarly unqualified individuals, so long as they're toeing the party line.

LeBron is very outspoken about his dislike of Trump, and that's why she goes after him. She attacks his education, which hasn't hampered his success in the least, nor is it an indicator of his intelligence.

LeBron started with nothing and created his fortune; he's an American success story.

Trump was gifted hundreds of millions of dollars from his father to use as a launch pad.
