Well, no, actually. He's a Canadian. But if the cringe-inducing king of the clownsuit wearers were to change his citizenship to the United States, he'd fit right in with the Grand Old Party.
Let us explain. Lately, Cherry's been peddling this insane idea that female sports reporters shouldn't be allowed in NHL locker rooms because guys run around in the altogether there. But guess what? It isn't true: "The reality is that there are no half-naked men in the locker room and no reporters of either sex are permitted in the shower or dressing areas" (emphasis ours).
But that doesn't matter to good ol' Don. He's continuing his great crusade.
Cherry's blatant fibbing reminds us of the Republicans and their fondness for half-truths and untruths. Latest case in point: New Hampshire GOP Senator Kelly Ayotte, who has told her constituents that she voted against the Toomey-Manchin background checks bill because "it would lead to a federal gun registry."
Sorry, Senator, but the bill would have outlawed a registry, not create one. Thankfully, Ayotte seems to be suffering some fallout from her vote and her lies. But we haven't seen her backpedaling, have you?
Maybe she should try for a spot on Hockey Night in Canada. Don Cherry's not getting any younger, you know.
