Earlier this week, Allen Iverson re-posted a photo of himself meeting Louis Farrakhan, which dates back to 2017.

He was criticized for doing that, by the Jewish community and others who thought it wasn’t a good idea to reveal any kind of association with a known antisemite and problematic figure.

Here’s A.I.’s response:

Now that’s how you craft a statement. On my Mount Rushmore of PR statements, I’m placing this one right next to the Atlanta Braves press release about the tomahawk chop and their stance on the team nickname.

Hopefully this is the end of the Louis Farrakhan 2020 news cycle.
