Either way this looks bad for bad Dan Gilbert.
Either he is lying or it truly never occurred to him which frankly might even make it worst. Here are his comments.
Cleveland Cavaliers owner Dan Gilbert said Friday he received the “most vile, disgusting, racist” voicemails after LeBron James called President Donald Trump a “bum” on Twitter.
“I didn’t even tell LeBron this. Now he’s going to know,” Gilbert said Friday on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” He called the voicemails “some of the most disgusting things I’ve ever heard people say. You could hear it in their voice.”
“It wasn’t even about the issue. That’s what really got me. They went to who they really are, some of them,” the billionaire Gilbert added. “There’s an element of racism in this country that I didn’t realize existed.”
It is amazing that someone that supports Trump could be this naive.
