Warriors Coach Steve Kerr Mocks Donald Trump Before Celtics Game

BOSTON — Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has no problem giving his opinion on political matters.

So before the Warriors squared off against the Boston Celtics from TD Garden on Wednesday night, Kerr gave his thoughts on Donald Trump winning Tuesday’s presidential election over Kamala Harris.

Kerr has been outspoken in his criticism of Trump in the past and even spoke at this year’s Democratic National Convention in support of Harris. Kerr accepted the results of the election and hopes for better days ahead while also taking a jab at the president-elect over his claims of voter fraud in the 2020 election.

“I believe in democracy and the American people have spoken and voted for Trump,” Kerr said. “I want him to do well the next four years. I want our country to do well. I’m just thankful that there wasn’t any voting fraud this time. Last time, I mean, all those illegal immigrants who crashed the border, raped and murdered people and then voted six times, that was unfortunate. But thankfully this time everything was clean. So, it’s great that every election has been really valid except for that last one four years ago. Twinkle in my eye as I say that in case you couldn’t see it.

“But I believe in democracy, I believe in the will of the people and I will do everything I can to support my country and our government. I want nothing but the best for us. It’s a complex world. We got a lot of interesting stuff between wars abroad and the global economy that has shifted everything in terms of what it means for our citizens, their day-to-day lives.

“I’m well aware I live in a bubble and I’m one of the luckiest people on Earth. So, I want what’s best for us. And I hope Trump can deliver that.”

Kerr was asked if he spoke to his team at all about the outcome of the election, to which the 59-year-old gave a humorous response.

“I just told them in our meeting this morning let’s make America great again and beat the Celtics tonight,” Kerr said.
