Scarborough blasts Nike for continued Irving relationship: ‘They believe in social justice, just not for Jews’
The Hill ^ | 11/04/2022 | CHLOE FOLMAR

MSNBC’s Morning Joe responded on Friday to Brooklyn Nets player Kyrie Irving’s apology for promoting an antisemitic film, condemning the NBA and Nike for their continued relationships with the point guard.

Both Nike and the NBA “believe in social justice, just not for Jews,” said host Joe Scarborough of the situation.

Irving tweeted last week in support of the documentary “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America,” which peddles conspiracy theories about Jews and uses antisemitic tropes and language.

The basketball star and self-styled independent thinker posted an apology on Thursday following backlash over the tweet, saying that he agrees with some of the documentary but empathizes with the pain caused by his post.

Scarborough is a fraud. But Irving is a BLM, anti-Semite. Nike is a fraud too. I refuse to buy Nike products (although their golf equipment was superb!)

IIRC, haven’t the left been churning out anti-Christian movies and entertainment for years? Christians are ridiculed relentlessly in television shows, and have been for some time. I guess that’s ok, though, for some strange reason.

Was it one of those classic non-apology apologies”. “Man, I’m sorry they hooknose asses got up in a bunch .”

Nike are slave holders. Not only that, but they charge huge amounts for their products that are made using free labor, since slaves do it.

And sports stars like LeFlop have made billions off of their relationship with slave holders.

Talk about hypocrites!

His sin is retweeting Michael Savage. What happened to free speech. They are really still angry he didn’t take the jab.

Truth, only Christians are to be ridiculed. It won’t lead to mass killings of them, we promise says the PTB.

Who cares if someone hates Jews? It is more important that blacks hate everyone that isn’t them, including themselves. Illogical? Not really. The most hateful people are the same who claim they are the most hated.

Why should the Jews get a lifetime pass on criticism just because some people were killed in WW 2 by some other people?

They also killed gypsies, queers, Russians, Poles, Americans, Brits, French, Dutch and more.

Get over it Jews, you are not the most persecuted people on the planet. You are just in control of most media companies therefore have a bigger mouth to scream ANTI-SEMITE. As a group you vote lockstep with the Communist left etc. A conservative Jew in the US? The Dems call him traitor the same as a black conservative.

Let’s get back to the era of free speech and quit protecting CLASSES and RACES of people.

The most hated group in the US today in 2022 is the WASP Conservative male.

Was that a “there I said it” post? I guess I did.

There are some bitter, vengeful, hateful, woke libtards out there eager to DESTROY people’s lives even when they apologize for the thing they are accused of doing.

This does NOTHING to fight anti-Semitism and rather causes people to despise these nasty, selfish, groups of people masquerading as justice warriors.

Never heard of the film they are so angry about, but I remember when these same folks accused “The Passion of the Christ” of being anti-Semitic. And that accusation was false. So, this accusation makes me want to see the film in question rather than ignore it. It’s a boy who cried wolf scenario.

I wouldn’t even know it existed if the leftwing nuts hadn’t tried to destroy a man’s life over it.

“IIRC, haven’t the left been churning out anti-Christian movies and entertainment for years? Christians are ridiculed relentlessly in television shows, and have been for some time. I guess that’s ok, though, for some strange reason.” Just what is the proper wording to use when mentioning anything semitic....OY VEY or something else.? We all want to be on the safe side and not be called anti this or that.

Great post there Glad2bnuts. You really have the guts to say what do many of us are hesitant to say, for fear of being labeled racist or anti semitic. Thanks and keep it up. BIG RED TSUNAMI WAVE coming Nov. 8th. MAGA

He was right on the Covid vax. He is dead wrong on supporting the anti-white, anti-semitic, apostate "Black Israelites." The hateful scum who have stood on milk crates in Times Square for decades hurling racism and Jew-hatred. THAT is who Kylie now "stands with." That is whose rhetoric he is repeating.
