Warriors coach Steve Kerr strongly chided Donald Trump on Wednesday after his victory over Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential election.
Kerr is a noted Democrat and endorsed VP Harris back at the Democratic National Convention in August.
And before his team took on the Celtics, Kerr took some verbal jabs at the second-time president-elect, as he mocked Trump over his repeated claims that the 2020 election results were illegitimate.
‘I’m just thankful there wasn’t any voting fraud this time,’ Kerr sarcastically told reporters. ‘Last time, 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. It’s great that every election has been really valid except for that last one four years ago.’

Kerr was later asked if he had spoken with his team before their matchup with Boston to refocus them following the election results.
‘I just told them let’s make America Great Again and beat the Celtics tonight,’ he quipped.
Kerr, in campaigning for Harris at the DNC, said that ‘leaders must display dignity’ but conceded on Wednesday that the ‘American people have spoken’
‘I want him to do well the next four years. I want our country to do well.’
‘… I believe in the will of the people, and I’ll do everything I can to support my country and our government. And I want nothing for the best for us. It’s a complex world. We’ve got a lot of interesting stuff between wars abroad and the global economy.’
Kerr went on to admit that he lives in a ‘bubble’ and called himself one of the ‘luckiest people on Earth’ before expressing hope that Trump can help the American people in his second term.
Olympian Simone Biles also seemed to be none-too-pleased about the result of the election as she made a plea to incumbent President Joe Biden.
