Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr made headlines when he publicly endorsed Kamala Harris for the U.S. presidential election earlier this year, even mimicking Stephen Curry’s famous “night night” celebration supporting her candidacy.
However, when the final results came in, Donald Trump was elected president, meaning Kerr’s hopes of seeing Harris become the first female president would have to wait.
Ahead of the Warriors’ game against the Boston Celtics, Kerr shared his thoughts on the election outcome. Kerr also commented on the lack of voting fraud in this election cycle while making reference to past claims about election irregularities.
“Well, I mean, I believe in democracy, and I think that the American people have spoken and voted for Trump, and I want him to do well, the next four years. I want our country to do well,” Kerr said.
“I’m just thankful that there wasn’t any voting fraud this time. Last time, I mean, all those illegal immigrants who crashed the border and raped and murdered people and then voted six times, that was unfortunate. Thankfully, this time, everything was clean,” he added.
Steve Kerr Sparks Controversy With Polarizing Election Commentary
Steve Kerr stirred up significant controversy following his comments about the U.S. election results. Specifically, he alluded to past rhetoric about illegal immigrants committing crimes and voting illegally, saying he was “thankful” there wasn’t any voting fraud this time.
This comment quickly ignited backlash from fans, as many expressed frustration and disappointment over his choice of words. The specific mention of “rape and murder” in his commentary particularly upset many. The reaction on social media was swift and intense. Fans called the former NBA star‘s comments out of line.
Kerr’s comment sparked a debate over the responsibilities of public figures when sharing personal views on such subjects. The criticism didn’t stop there. Some fans took their frustrations further, even calling for Kerr’s firing from his coaching position.
It remains to be seen how Steve Kerr or the Golden State Warriors organization will respond to the head coach’s harsh criticism.
