Former NBA guard Terrence Ross had a terse message for politicians in the U.S. in the aftermath of an assassination attempt on former President Trump.

Ross took to task politicians who offer outlandish statements in the middle of political cycles and then act shocked when something like the shooting at a Trump campaign rally in Pennsylvania occurs.

"What’s happening to our country? Our government and politicians divide us, then act shock when things go to far," Ross wrote on X. "It shouldn’t be red vs blue. It should us vs them. We have more in common than any of these politicians who are suppose to be our voice. Enough"

I never heard of this player, but he played twelve years and retired last year. And he won the NBA slam dunk contest champion in his 2nd year, 2013.

I welcome yet another brother into the Republican Party. The party of freedom. United we stand, sir and I agree as at the end of the day we are all Americans. It seems to me people are realizing some great line that resonates through the last 60 years “I have a dream that one day my children will be judged by the content of their character (in this case the American character) not by the color of their skin”. Compare that to Mr. Biden statement “if you don’t vote for me, you ain’t black”.

Seems to me there is no clearer example of the democrat party judges by turn”color of the skin”.

He played college basketball at the University of Washington. He was a very good player, fun to watch, very athletic.

Terrence: Good for you!
