Former President Donald Trump unloaded on NBA star LeBron James on
Thursday after James tweeted out a photo this week targeting a police officer who saved a black girl from being stabbed.
rCLLeBron James should focus on basketball rather than presiding over the destruction of the NBA, which has just recorded the lowest television RATINGS, by far, in the long and distinguished history of the League,rCY Trump said. rCLHis RACIST rants are divisive, nasty, insulting, and demeaning. He may be a great basketball player, but he is doing nothing
to bring our Country together!rCY
TrumprCOs comments bashing James, who is a left-wing Democrat activist, comes after James faced intense backlash this week after he tweeted the photograph of the police officer, writing, rCLYOUrCORE NEXTrCY with an emoji of an hourglass, a symbol that signifies that time is running out.
Outrage over JamesrCO tweet was so severe that he deleted the tweet less than two hours after posting it and released a statement over the
incident, but did not apologize for his actions.
rCLANGER does [sic] any of us any good and that includes myself!rCY James said. rCLGathering all the facts and educating does though! My anger still is here for what happened that lil girl. My sympathy for her family and
may justice prevail!rCY
rCLIrCOm so damn tired of seeing Black people killed by police,rCY James continued. rCLI took the tweet down because its being used to create more hate -This isnrCOt about one officer. itrCOs about the entire system and they always use our words to create more racism. I am so desperate for
more ACCOUNTABILITY.rCY
The National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) responded to JamesrCO tweet
by writing: rCL@KingJames, with his vast resources & influence, should educate himself and, frankly, has a responsibility to do so, on the
facts before weighing in. This is disgraceful & extremely reckless. The officer saved a young girlrCOs life. No amount of gaslighting will change that fact.rCY

Michael Woods, the interim police chief of Columbus, said at a press conference that video of the incident showed rCLthe female with the knife,rCY who the police officer shot and killed, was rCLattempting to stabrCY
another female in the video.
rCLNormally we donrCOt provide information this soon, but we understand the publicrCOs need, desire, and expectation to have transparency upon what happened,rCY Woods said. rCLWerCOve worked very hard tonight to provide you a
short video of the officer, the first officer that arrived at scene and
this is the officer that did ultimately fire his weapon.rCY
rCLWe know, based on this footage, the officer took action to protect another young girl in our community, but a family is grieving tonight
and this young 15-year-old girl will never be coming home,rCY Columbus
Mayor Andrew Ginther said during the press briefing. rCLWe think itrCOs critically important to share as much information as possible, as
quickly as possible. So werCOll continue to share footage, other
information in the hours and days ahead, making sure werCOre not in any
way shape or form compromising the independent investigation being done
by BCI. We felt transparency and sharing this footage as incomplete as
it may be at this time is critically important to make sure we were
sharing good accurate information about what transpired today with the public and for this grieving family.rCY
