Woke NBA Coach Attacks Constitution, Ted Cruz Smacks Him Down Hard: ‘Hypocritical and Condescending’

San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has never been one to shy away from speaking his mind on politics. Which is a shame, because there’s not much in there.

Pop, as he’s affectionately referred to, may have been coaching his last game on Sunday (the Spurs are out of the playoffs and rumors have been swirling that this is his last season) when he went off on a rant about the school shooting in Nashville, Tennessee, during his pre-game press availability, according to the San Antonio Current.

Conveniently, of course, he left out the fact a Christian school was targeted or that a transgender 28-year-old woman who left behind a manifesto was the alleged attacker. Instead, he was especially angry about a quote from Tennessee GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn saying she and other agencies were “ready to assist.”

“In what?” Popovich said. “They’re dead. What are you going to assist with? Cleaning up their brains off the wall? Wiping the blood off the schoolroom floor? What are you going to assist with?”

“Most of you in this room, when we were in school, we worried if Nancy would dance with us on Friday after the football game or something. That was our anxiety.”

Now, he has to worry about his grandchildren being shot up by a mass murderer — and he blamed what he believed was a mythical amendment for it.

“But they’re going to cloak all this stuff [in] the myth of the Second Amendment, the freedom,” he said, according to Fox News.

“You know, it’s just a myth. It’s a joke. It’s just a game they play. I mean, that’s freedom. Is it freedom for kids to go to school and try to socialize and try to learn and be scared to death that they might die that day?”

“But Ted Cruz will fix it because he is going to double the number of cops in the schools. That’s what he wants to do. Well, that’ll create a great environment. Is that freedom? Or is it freedom to have a congressman who can make a postcard with all his family holding rifles, including an AR-15 or whatever. Is that cool? Is that like street cred for a Republican? That’s freedom? That’s more important than protecting kids? I don’t get it.”
