Former soccer star Megan Rapinoe claimed that former President Donald Trump aims to create a “violent reality” for America.
Rapinoe discussed the upcoming election during an appearance on Wednesday’s “A Touch More” podcast episode.
“It is stressful. I am nervous, but I also am hopeful,” the athlete-turned-leftist-activist claimed.
“I believe in people, and I certainly believe in women, and I believe that people want better than the grim, dark, just violent reality that Donald Trump has very clearly laid out for us,” she said.
“He’s telling everybody what he’s gonna do, and it’s really dark, and it’s really sad, and I don’t think anybody wants to live like that,” Rapinoe added.
Rapinoe expressed her agreement with San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who labeled Trump as “pathetic.”
“I actually really liked what Greg Popovich had to say about Donald Trump. He goes on to basically say you wouldn’t want this guy babysitting your child or working in your small business. He’s small, he’s mean, he makes fun of people,” Repinoe said.
The soccer player also complained about the Trump rally at New York’s Madison Square Garden, criticizing comedian Tony Hinchcliffe as “racist.”
“There was a rally at Madison Square Garden where the comedic act, the opening act, [was] just openly racist, openly bigoted, openly xenophobic – saying the most horrible things,” she said. “You would never allow your kids to say those kinds of things… There’s a level of decency here that I think is being lost in the decisiveness of right, left, and this, that, and the other. I think that’s important.”
Rapinoe is a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, an Olympic gold medalist, a World Cup champion, and an NCAA champion.
