LeBron James took to Twitter Saturday evening to express his sadness and anger over the events that took place earlier in the day in Charlottesville, Va., as well as criticize President Donald Trump for his poor leadership.

"It's sad what's going on in Charlottesville," LeBron tweeted. "Is this the direction our country is heading? Make America Great Again huh?! He said that."

One 32-year-old woman died and at least 19 more were injured after a car targeted and barreled into a crowd of protesters opposing a racist rally led by white supremacists in Charlottesville on Saturday.

It was Barack Obama’s “leadership” that brought us here, not Donald Trump’s. This is what happens after 8 years of democrat identity politics. But thanks for playing LeBron.

It would be great if he and all the other sports folks would just play their sport and STFU.

This false narrative needs to be derailed.

We allow Nazis to march because the Constitution requires it.

Leftard pukes and racist black thugs feloniously attacked people who were exercising their constitutional rights.

That’s all that happened.

Guess you missed those Obama years, huh? LeBron?

This is why people shouldn’t idolize thugs. An opportunist throws gasoline on the fire. Just like Obama.

BLM, no problem
Antifa, no problem.
White Nationalist, OMG! End of the world!
People bave been falling all over themselves today denouncing the WN. Rove was particularly sickening today. A local merchant said the protesters weren’t locals, but were bussed in. Sounds like Soros’ MO. Lots wrong here.

He’s a Eastern Conference Champ. He is probably one of the most revered black men in America.

BLM members have assassinated police in several cities and they are okay with that.

Yeah, well they can’t all be Obama’s you know...

Good grief.

It’s just so hard to find someone smarter than a community organizer.

Can’t we all agree that violence is deplorable? Can’t we all agree that it’s tragic that somebody was killed, and a number of others are in critical condition from the car crash?

Can’t we all agree that violence is triggered when counter protesters show up to what was supposed to have been a peaceful protest march?

It seems as if the liberals and the media are blaming everything on the neo-Nazis and “White nationalists”. Is White Nationalist a new made-up term, sort of how the liberals made up “white Hispanic” so they could label George Zimmerman with a pejorative term?

Everything was overshadowed by the car crash. But I understand that there was violence going on, and that leftist counter protesters were not shy about throwing punches themselves. It’s a false narrative to say that the liberals were simon pure here, and that the only violence was committed by the so called “alt right”. I see the liberals and media have revived that term.

Maybe a bowing world tour would help Trump look better in these folk’s eyes.
