ESPN couldn’t make the Kentucky Derby about race, so they switched to politics.

On Wednesday, during an Outside the Lines episode, ESPN host John Barr interviewed Eric Reed — owner of Mercury Equine Center, which houses reigning Kentucky Derby-winning horse Rich Strike —and asked Reed if he had ever tweeted anything remotely negative about Vice President Kamala Harris.

In typical ESPN fashion, the host had a tweet in question hiding in his back pocket after a considerable investigation over a matter that no one would care about if not for the hard-hitting journalism at ESPN.

Barr’s tweet in question, posted back in January, poked fun at Kamala Harris by stating that her only qualification for the role was being "good on her knees."

They’d be giving him an ESPY if he tweeted something negative about Trump.

Well, at least he has a rock-solid defense — the truth — and because the aging Heels-Up is a “pubic” official, he cannot be sued for libel.

I thought taking a knee,at sports events, was a good thing? At least it was during Trump’s reign?

She was Willie Brown’s mistress. You can see from her performance as Vice President that she is incapable of doing anything except the knee.

Good guess, but no. The trainer was merely commenting on Harris’s skill in changing tires. So I really don’t understand what all the fuss is about.

Hearing the analysists discuss Rich Strike’s win, it sounded like they were disappointed. Disappointed in being wrong about the horse, perhaps.
The long knives are out, imho

What did he say that was untrue? You can’t cancel someone for speaking the truth. I mean, you can try, but the truth will out, and the would-be cancellers will look like fools

Leftwing news heads don’t get it: the more they publicize stuff like this, the more ridicule their hapless heroes will endure. It’s the Let’s Go Brandon effect.

I watched them riot in State College, PA the night Joe Paterno was fired as Penn State football coach.

They turned over the truck for the local television station in Altoona, PA.

If they needed to turn something over I don’t do that stuff well they should have looked for the ESPN vehicle or vehicles.
