Celebrities and athletes are known to endorse presidential candidates. LeBron James is taking that initiative a step further.
LeBron and the Florida Rights Restoration Coalition are actively sending text messages to residents for the purpose of forwarding them to convicted felons, Outkick has learned.
LeBron and the group are offering to pay fines and fees so felons can vote in the upcoming presidential election (for Joe Biden).
Here is one of the screenshots Outkick obtained Monday:

In June, LeBron launched the group More Than A Vote to “fight black voter suppression and excite minority voters across the nation.”

In another tweet with #MoreThanaVote, LeBron tweeted, “This is SYSTEMIC RACISM and OPPRESSION.”
Just yesterday, LeBron was quoted in a Daily Wire story saying, “black people in the community don’t believe that their vote matters.”
The texts and promotions for the cause don’t specify what happens if an interested felon is known to support President Donald Trump or oppose the Chinese Communist Party. Maybe a “Sorry. We met our budget” response from the LeBron team?
What a surprise. Won’t donate to police officer reward but will support felons.
Is that even legal?
Its gonna be fun watching from heaven the 7 years of hell on earth
Yup, I lost any respect for LBJ after his someone-spray-painted-something-but-there-is-no-evidence-and-no-charges-were-filed-or-pics-take-but-i-swear-its’-true moment. This is him continuing on his race hustling ways.
What an evil man he is morphing into. He does realize that there are non-black felons…right? That’s one way to get him to stop; he’s a racist after all. “Mostly white people ended up voting due to our initiative it seems”. That’ll shut the Lebron cash faucet REAL quick.
The left’s new base: illegals, rioters and felons.
How about helping the felons get Jobs put your money into the community by opening companies and hiring felons and the unemployed in the cities you live in.
LBJ is of the same opinion of white liberals & black pa$tors. Namely, that blacks are too damn lazy and stupid to obtain a valid ID and show up at a polling place on their own. Paternalistic media & entertainment clowns constantly bestowing victimhood on blacks proves one thing…they have really low expectations of black people as a whole.

I hope they prosecute him.
Seems pretty clear-cut to me. Of course, for leftists like Lebron all you have to do is say ‘ruh ruh ruh raciiiiiist’ to justify to yourself breaking a law.
What a sleezeball fraud LeBron James is. It should be illegal to be so ignorant with the platform he has.
We all know what this POS is about always on the wrong side if he didn’t play ball he’d be jacking 7-11’s when i see a picture of this idiot when he is wearing that skull cap and big thick beard he looks like a terrorist put him on a watch list stat. Not watching or supporting the NBA and haven’t been and looks like i won’t be these players are pathetic human beings i swear.
Does anyone recall NBA all-time greats such as Jordan, Magic, Kobe, Duncan, and Shaq ever playing the race or victim cards?
No i remember going to the Forum and watching the Showtime Lakers those were the days great players and great fun no messaging just great play and the fans loved it man i miss that.
Basketball in the 80’s was much watch TV. Lakers with Magic, Celtics with Byrd, 76’s with Dr.J, Rockets with Hakeem, Pistons with Isiah, and the Bulls on the rise with Jordan. I’m glad I kept my basketball cards from that era.
Hey LeSchmuck…I’m north of NYC and I don’t believe MY NYS VOTE matters, either…cuz I vote conservative/republican…but I take my franchise seriously…and this is THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH !!! Name a better one…and move your ass there!
That is illegal on a state and federal level giving something of value in return to vote a certain way maybe the justice dept and states AG can take a look i mean he stated that’s what hes doing.
There is already an official investigation underway into Bloomberg’s actions on this same front in the State of Florida. Just roll Lebron into the same pu pu platter of election law violations.
