James has long been a critic of Donald Trump
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}It should come as no surprise, but LeBron James looks like he will be voting for Kamala Harris for president.
The Los Angeles Lakers superstar has long been critical of Republican nominee Donald Trump. On Thursday, James urged his followers to "vote Kamala Harris."
"What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!" James posted on X.

James posted a video that featured negative headlines about Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden and a clip of Tony Hinchcliffe saying he and a Black person in the crowd carved watermelons.
The video also features other headlines that said Trump spewed "nazi rhetoric" and clips of African Americans being assaulted.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Commenters said the clips were taken out of context and ripped James.
"From your biggest fan, clipping together a bunch of unrelated sound bites to these racially charged videos is a sad propaganda and embarrassing work. You should be ashamed," wrote one user. "There is so much real content you could've posted to get your message across, you didn't need to fabricate this narrative. I'm embarrassed my goat posted this."
"Nah, this ain't it. Taking speeches out of context and placing them next to racist historical events is classic Democrat moves," wrote another.

"Congrats and well deserved Sen. Kamala Harris!! Love to see and support it! Appreciate you JB," he wrote at the time.
