NBA coach faces backlash after accusing Mike Pence of lying about Soleimani’s involvement in 9/11
Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr criticized Vice President Mike Pence on Friday, accusing him of lying about Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani’s involvement with the attacks on Sept. 11.
“One thing I’ve learned in my lifetime is to not believe our government when it comes to matters of war,” he tweeted. “Johnson and Nixon lied about Viet Nam [sic]. Bush and Cheney lied about WMD’s in Iraq. Now Pence is lying about Iran/Soleimani’s supposed involvement in 9/11.”
