He said, “From being a football player, no one likes to lose and come back stronger. He might win next time.” Tyson then stated that one can’t beat someone’s spirit even if one tries to.

To this, Williams added, “That’s what they were voting for,” referring to Walker’s unbreakable spirit making him a good candidate for elections.

He replied, “Listen, if I start talking politics, my friends aren’t going to like me. Let’s just not do that, OK? Let’s just not do that.”

Tyson claims that in his earlier years, he was a liberal. And, as he grew old, he became a conservative. He said, “When I was younger, I was all-out liberal. But as I get older, and I look at my children, and I see what’s out there in the world, I get a little conservative.” It is no secret that Tyson is not the one to shy away from talking about his opinions.
