The legendary basketball coach lamented the political divide in America that prevents any meaningful gun safety legislation from being passed despite the rash of mass shootings, telling politicians they “should be ashamed” of themselves for doing nothing
“The people that are suffering are people that need you. Like, why don’t you? Come on,” he declared. “You know? What the hell are we doing? You know, we’re not taking care of our people. And we can go into the guns. Like, you need an automatic weapon? You gotta be kidding me. You got to be kidding me. It’s disgusting.”
He continued: “For us to, and to build on what Steve said, for us to see these kids get killed, members of our African-American community get killed in a grocery store, members of our Jewish community getting killed in a synagogue. Come on. That’s not right. That’s not right. It is amazingly wrong! And you should be ashamed of yourself, if you are in a position of power.”
Krzyzewski went on to take one final parting shot at elected officials over their lack of urgency in doing anything to address gun violence in America. “You have the ultimate platform, you have a chance to vote, your vote represents a lot of people,” he concluded. “Vote the right way. Not vote because you’re in this party, either side. You shouldn’t vote for the party, you should vote for the people that you serve. And you should have the guts, the courage, and it is your duty to do that.”
