SF Giants commentator compares gays to black people as 'oppressed' minority following Christian protest
San Francisco Giants sportscaster Mike Krukow vehemently defended the team's Pride Night celebration in lengthy remarks after three pitchers wrote Bible verses on their hats.Pitchers Landen Roupp, JT Brubaker, and Ryan Walker wrote differing forms of "Genesis 9:12-16" on their Giants rainbow-themed hats last week, and veteran commentator Krukow says it was a big mistake.'The strength of this city is its ethnicity, its culture.'Krukow's diatribe came after hosts on radio station KNBR asked him on Tuesday if he had any thoughts on the protest. Krukow did not hold back, directly comparing the "gay community" to black Americans by referring to homosexuals as an oppressed "minority.""It's hard to put it into perspective when you have so much emotion and so much of love for people who have been pinged at and oppressed and there was so much prejudice at you," Krukow attempted to explain. "The gay community has had to deal with issues, as the black community, as any minority community has had to."The announcer championed the Giants organization's long history of supporting gay people, which he said dated back to 1994 when it raise money for AIDS research. This was just one of the reasons Krukow said it was the duty of Giants players to understand the culture of the city, and thus, to support gay events.RELATED: Minor league baseball team cancels Pride Night ballgame — but still holds Pride Night to punish players Brian Rothmuller/Icon Sportswire/Getty Images "It's your responsibility to know just how sensitive this city is in regards to that cultural freedom and religious freedom and just the way that you live your life. And I think they were in for a rude awakening with the response," Krukow said.However, the protests did not prevent Giants fans from showing up at the next two home games. As Blaze News reported, attendance fluctuated in the days following the allegedly bigoted acts, with more fans showing up on the Sunday after Pride Night than they did on Pride Night itself.The 74-year-old announcer made plenty more partisan comments during his radio appearance, saying the "ethnicity" and "freedom" of San Francisco is what makes the city great."The strength of this city is its ethnicity, its culture," Krukow claimed. "It's the freedom for people to be able to come to a city and be free. And that's a powerful thing."Though Krukow frequently mentioned "freedom," he seems to have been referring to sexuality.RELATED: Do Giants fans hate the Christian protest on Pride Night? Attendance numbers reveal the truth Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images Krukow did mention that he feels it is necessary to respect both sides of the issue. Krukow said that complaints about the Pride Night protests were not from just "trolls," but rather "deep thoughts" and "educated opinion[s]" on why it is imperative to support the "gay community."Like Blaze News?

'Huge gamble': Expert shares sobering prediction after Trump ruptures alliance with insult
Republican strategist Doug Heye is alarmed by the rift between President Donald Trump and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, a right-wing leader who was initially close with Trump but is now on the outs with him.Tensions came to a head on Friday as Meloni posted a public video raging about Trump's false claim that she had "begged" to get a photo with him at the G7 summit."Doug, you say that this dispute between Trump and Meloni is an embarrassment," said CNN's Boris Sanchez on Friday's edition of CNN's "OutFront.""It's an embarrassment, and it comes at the very worst time, I think, possible that it could for the president and frankly, for the global coalition that the U.S. has put together over decades," said Heye, who has often fretted about the drama Trump creates in his party.Notably, he said, when Meloni was first put in office, "she was viewed as sort of like an Italian MAGA candidate. So she and Trump were going to get along famously." However, he continued, Meloni is now learning what "so many other people learn about Donald Trump if they get close to him," which is that "Donald Trump doesn't give points. He only takes them away one at a time."The consequences of the rift could be far-reaching, Heye warned."Whether you're talking about Europe — and by the way, things aren't terribly stable in England right now either — and what that means for Iran and thus the whole world are really important right now, I would want to keep our allies as close as possible," said Heye, but Trump appears totally unconcerned with this. "It's a huge gamble." - YouTube www.youtube.com

GOP strategist flabbergasted by Trump's 'odd' insult to his European 'poster child'
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni wasted no time swiping back at President Donald Trump on Friday after he said that she "begged' him to take a photograph together, a spat that left one GOP strategist completely flabbergasted. Brad Todd, a veteran GOP operative, discussed Meloni's sharp rebuke of Trump during a segment on CNN's "The Arena." Meloni released a video statement in which she said Trump's comments were "completely made up." She also canceled an upcoming trip to meet Secretary of State Marco Rubio in Miami, Florida. "I am frankly astonished," Meloni said. "I don't know why the President of the United States behaves like this towards his allies. It is not the first time, moreover."Meloni's response earned her cheers across the globe. Todd reacted to the back-and-forth during the CNN segment. "I'm equally flabbergasted by this because Giorgia Meloni is Donald Trump's best ally in Western Europe," Todd said. "And furthermore, they share many of the same populist viewpoints and perspectives. And so, to the extent he's always said he wishes Europe would conform more to his view of how things should operate, she's the poster child for that. She's exactly the person for it. So it is odd to me." "But partnership does not always come easy to President Trump. And in order to continue to have that relationship with her, it would require being an equal partner, much like he has to be an equal partner with John Thune. And that's just not his favorite paradigm," he added.
