Afterward, there have been some issues about the place the cash went. It was used to push us towards the Democratic vote. However the preliminary feeling was [pure].”
Persevering with he stated:
“Once I stated what I stated about George Floyd, it damage my individuals. Black individuals. So, I wish to apologize for hurting them. As a result of, proper now, God has proven me – by what Adidas is doing and by what the media is doing – I understand how it feels to have a knee on my neck.
