Boomer Esiason, a former NFL quarterback, criticized Donald Trump’s hosting of the LIV Golf Tour at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf course this week.
LIV Golf is supported by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. Many have protested against the country’s human rights violations as well as the fact that 15 terrorist hijackers of September 11, 2001 were Saudi Arabian citizens.
The Trump National Golf Club Bedminster can be reached in an hour from the World Trade Center.
“This is the greatest insult to the families who are sitting here asking, ‘What are we doing? “We’re hosting a Saudi Arabian tournament of golf with the Public Investment Fund of the government of Saudi Arabia at Trump Bedminster. This is what we’re doing,” Esiason stated on “Boomer and Gio”, the WFAN morning radio program he co-hosts.
Saudi Arabia is being accused of a wide range of human rights violations, including torture, forced disappearances, politically motivated killings, and inhumane treatment for prisoners. Saudi royals and the Saudi government were also accused of being involved in Jamal Khashoggi’s murder, a Washington Post columnist and journalist from Saudi Arabia.
Esiason didn’t stop at his criticisms of Trump, the LIV Golf Tour, and his employer, WFAN. There have also been radio commercials that promoted the tour.
Esiason stated that the former president is hosting this garbage and these men are taking this money. It’s a insult to all those who died on 9/11, and their families. It’s also an insult for all those who have died from cancer since 9/11, because of the toxic carcinogens they ingested as they tried to clean up the place.
“These guys are out there playing music and making hundreds of millions from the Saudi Arabian Government, that’s what they’re doing?” They can even kiss my genitals. Esiason said, “I’m not watching.”
