Another day, another idiot celebrity…
Via Washington Post:
In early October, LeBron James took the somewhat unusual step of officially endorsing his choice to be the next president: Hillary Clinton. On Sunday, just two days before the election, the Cavaliers forward took his stance a step further, introducing the Democratic nominee at a rally in Cleveland.
James was accompanied onstage by teammate J.R. Smith, as well as Smith’s daughter. “With my [charitable] foundation, giving kids the notion that someone cares about them, that what they dream about, that someone like myself and J.R. and President Hillary Clinton,” James said, pausing to let his “President” line sink in, “can make their dreams become a reality, is very important to me. And I believe that this woman right here can continue that.”
Polls have Clinton trailing Donald Trump in the traditional swing state of Ohio, and her campaign is hoping that James, an Akron native who just brought Cleveland its first major sports title in 52 years, can use his considerable popularity to help get out the vote for her, particularly among African Americans. On Friday, Clinton appeared onstage at a Cleveland concert featuring Jay Z and Beyoncé.
