Currently in St. Wojnarowski, the general manager of the Bonaventure Bonnies men’s basketball team, made a critical statement about President Donald Trump after the United States captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro.
“An absolute disgrace,” he wrote on Threads after sharing an anti-Trump column in The New York Times.
During his time at ESPN, Wojnarowski went viral in 2020 when he responded to a press release email from Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., with an explicit statement. “F— you,” he wrote to the Republican lawmaker.

ESPN suspended Wojnarowski for his reaction. He later issued an apology.
“I was disrespectful and made a regrettable mistake. I apologize for the way I handled myself and I am immediately reaching out to Senator Hawley to apologize directly,” he wrote at the time. “I also need to apologize to my colleagues at ESPN because I know my actions were unacceptable and should not reflect on any of this.”
Wojnarowski is now returning to political waters. This time I’m launching a blatant criticism of the White House.

DHS said Good was shot in self-defense after driving his SUV in a threatening manner. DHS said the video shows Good interfering with ICE officers by parking his vehicle on the road in an attempt to block federal vehicles.
