"Some of the NBA's biggest players and owners, who routinely exercise their freedom to criticize this country, lose their voices when it comes to the freedom and rights of other peoples," Pence said in a speech. "In siding with the Chinese Communist Party and silencing free speech, the NBA is acting like a wholly owned subsidiary of the authoritarian regime."
US is a wholly owned subsidiary of Trump and his royal clan.
Pence needs to worry about his upcoming impeachment.

How many of Pence’s donors do business with China? You’re only picking on the league because it creates wealth for those with more melanin.
Agreed
Is that not how the GOP treats the NRA Pot meet kettle... Trump comes out and says we are for sure going to do gun control, a week later after a talking to by Mitch and the NRA he totally changed his tune....
He’s right.

Race baiting stuff. The reality is that so many businesses work with China- they’re only picking on the NBA.
