A vote for the Republican Party isn’t necessarily a vote for Trump. Some people vote for conservative values because they don’t agree with the direction of the far left.“Reducing every voter to one man only feeds the division,” Kuzma wrote on X in response to Gavin Newsom.As expected, NBA fans didn’t like Kuzma’s take and the Bucks star faced a wave of criticism under his X post.“Kyle, literally shut up and dribble,” a fan wrote. While another added, “You are literally too stupid to comment on these types of things.”“Why do you insist on having the most surface-level moronic takes ever, Kyle?” a third fan asked.“This guy is so naive. In this election, a vote for a Republican running for national office is a vote for Trump,” a fourth fan pointed out.“I would say shut up and dribble, but you’re bad at that too, son,” a fifth fan mockingly stated.Fans completely disagreed with Kuzma’s stance and instead took major shots at his basketball career in the NBA.Read more:Kyle Kuzma snaps at Barack Obama’s ‘religious identity pitch’ in MichiganEnes Kanter picks NBA player who called him a ‘drama queen’ as America’s most desirable punching bagKyle Kuzma hits back at Milwaukee Bucks fan after brutal criticism of preseason performance
