Retired MLB pitcher and conservative commentator Curt Schilling had a lot to say during a recent appearance on Fox News.
The former World Series MVP and Hall of Fame caliber pitcher during his career was speaking on certain things going on in the country, most notably, when the Los Angeles Dodgers held their 10th annual Pride Night on Friday night.
In the hours before the Dodgers hosted the San Francisco Giants, a bunch of Catholics outside the stadium what it called “a prayerful procession” in a parking lot outside Dodger Stadium.
On top of that, Schilling is just overall sick of the many drag shows being held around the country that seem to be targeting children as well. He had some strong words in response.
“We’re getting back to a point where somebody is going to have to pull a trigger,” Schilling said.
Transcribed via Media matters:
“I don’t know where the rubber is going to meet the road because it’s a true sacrifice. You look at the guys, the young men that signed the Constitution and all the things that they sacrificed, everything to come out from under a tyrannical government, and then eventually at some point, there was a man at Concord who decided he was going to pull the trigger. And I feel like we’re getting back to a point where somebody is going to have to pull a trigger because everything we hold dear, everything this country was founded on is being just dragged through the mud and mocked and made fun of. This country was founded on Godly principles. No matter how offensive that is to the left, it’s true.”

When it came to clearing up his ‘pull the trigger’ comment, Schilling added, “It doesn’t matter if I say metaphorically because they’re going to run with that quote no matter how I put it.”
The 56-year-old played in the majors from 1988 until 2007. He won three World Series championships during his time in the big leagues.
Schilling came up short in his 10th and final year of eligibility on the BBWAA ballot back in 2022. After garnering at least 70 percent of the vote for consecutive years, his approval dipped significantly to 58.6 percent.
There is no question as to why Schilling has not been voted into the Hall of Fame as it has to do with controversy regarding his political views.
Schilling never violated the integrity of the game, but he has seemingly violated a lot in his personal life that voters simply could not look past.
