Very telling that this will be what ends Kanter's rebrand, on r/nba, from Gülenist shithead to neoconservative shithead. Most users were willing to excuse him hanging around the likes of John Bolton when attacking America's enemies, but going on Tucker and insulting domestic liberals was a red line.

What's hilarious about his attempt to reframe himself as the convervative Colin Kaepernick is that the NBA has been absurdly accommodating in their treatment of him. Despite repeatedly insulting a face of the league (Lebron), accusing a Taiwanese team owner of being a CPC spy, and slandering the NBA's largest international market; his minutes have only gone up (from zero) and he's faced no real punishment.

The goods news is he's likely triangulating himself into an audience that doesn't exist. No multinational company is going to want to sponsor him after this, and libs will hate him for doing Tucker. Meanwhile any right-wing support he's gained is entirely because he's an active NBA player who insults Lebron, but after retiring no conservative will want to listen what an irrelevant Turkish Muslim has to say.
