“But it’s certainly something that if I was going to run, my first path – that would be the target”. This comes in the wake of a Facebook post where Schilling said that he’d like to launch a presidential bid in eight years, “or four, if by some incredible illegal event this country elects another Clinton”.
Warren’s office did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Schilling would also be up against Warren’s die-hard MA fan base, which includes Angela DePace of Jamaica Plain.
Asked about the ongoing presidential race, Schilling affirmed his support for Donald Trump, but did say he was “not happy at how (Trump) has projected himself at different places and different times”. But if Hillary Clinton were elected, he said, he’d make a run for the presidency in four years.
He was sacked from his job as a ESPN baseball analyst earlier this year after a Facebook post about the transgender bathroom issue in North Carolina and was suspended for a month last year for a tweet comparing radical Islamists to Nazis.
Even before his retirement from baseball, Schilling was politically outspoken and campaigned for then-president George W. Bush in 2004. “Liberals and Democrats would have us believe that we are everything they actually are”, he said. I don’t care. I care if you’re a good person.
