I'm quite surprised at this, actually. But he apparently let loose on her on Twitter over her whole fossil fuels ultimatum to bank presidents.

quote:

Bruce Pearl executed a cannonball into the political pool on Thursday.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) went viral after JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon rebuked her question about whether the bank would stop funding fossil fuels, and the Auburn basketball coach jumped in the mix.

“Does your bank have a policy against funding new oil and gas products?” Tlaib asked Dimon.

The banking titan answered, “Absolutely not, and that would be the road to hell for America.”

At this point, Tlaib said, “Sir, everyone that got relief from student loans [that] has a bank account with your bank should probably take out their account and close their account. The fact that you’re not even there to help relieve many of the folks that are in extreme debt because of student loan debt, and the fact that you’re out there criticizing it…”


Apparently, Pearl was having none of it:

quote:

Pearl saw the video and came out swinging.

“Like Gas Prices aren’t high enough?” the Auburn coach tweeted. “Is the Congresswoman from Michigan not at all concerned with how much it’s going to cost people to stay warm this winter? Let’s just let Russia and Iran take care of our fossil fuel needs?! A weaker USA is dangerous for the world!”

I'm assuming most coaches think like him but don't have the balls to speak out and pretend to be woke to get recruits. Good for Pearl.

Love that we don’t muzzle him. I am not Jewish but him taking the team to Israel where players of all opinions got to take it all in (baptism in the Jordan etc) is amazing. He is a Jewish man that sees the absurdity of the leftist ideology.

I always assumed Pearl was Jewish or some sort of semi-middle eastern descent. If he is indeed a Jew, he probably depsise that terrorist from Michigan enormously.

Good for Bruce for speaking up. Not enough leaders on college campuses have the guts to speak up these days because our colleges have become leftist cesspools looking to cancel anyone and anything that might offend them. Bruce just gained a new fan. War damn eagle!

Damn I want to hate Bruce Pearl because he’s our competition but I love him for his ability to speak his mind like this with no concern to the cancel culture crowd that will come for him.

Pearl is a fricking man.

Tlaib is the bitch that can't cook, shut the frick up, make any sense and sucks in bed... so she went into liberal politics.

Can't tell if he's priming himself for politics after basketball. He's always been outspoken

Are you paying attention, Drew Brees?

That’s how you do it.
