On Thursday, Ingraham responded to James’s reaction to him Fox News pointed out, saying “every American has the God-given right to speak for himself on any issue.”

“Oh, and LeBron and Kevin: You are a great player, but no one has chosen you,” he said. “Millions of people choose Trump to be their coach. So, keep political comments for yourself or, as someone has said, shut up and dribble.”
