The Boxing Hall of Famer commented, “Say I can’t. I can name 100 things that Trump has said and done that were blatantly dishonest, hateful, rac*st, or m*sogynistic. I don’t love my choice, tbh, but Harris is a decent human and the other is a repugnant, d*generate, liar. My choice is clear. #NeverTrump #HarrisWalz”
