LeBron James mocked as 'LeSnitch' and 'LeKaren' after ejecting heckling fans from game and then is fined after making obscene gesture — during same contest



Has NBA superstar LeBron James been getting triggered of late?

Since he got his backside handed to him on Twitter for mocking Kyle Rittenhouse's tears on the witness stand earlier this month, James seems to have been just a little bit on edge.

What are the details?

About a week after his Rittenhouse tweet, James got annoyed at Boston Celtics' center Enes Kanter for wearing shoes depicting James bowing to Chinese President Xi Jinping, who places a crown on James' head:

Kanter has publicly criticized brutal regimes like China — and also has taken aim at James, who has a highly lucrative endorsement deal with Nike.

Before the game, Kanter posted photos of his shoes on Twitter and wrote the following message to James: "Money over Morals for the 'King.' Sad & disgusting how these athletes pretend they care about social justice. They really do 'shut up & dribble' when Big Boss says so. Did you educate yourself about the slave labor that made your shoes or is that not part of your research?"

James replied after the Celtics' victory over the Los Angeles Lakers that Kanter "always kind of had a word or two to say in my direction, and as a man, if you got an issue with somebody, you really come up to him. He had his opportunity tonight. I seen him in the hallway; he walked right by me."

James ejected, fined for 'some bulls**t'

A few days later James received a one-game suspension after striking and bloodying the face of Detroit Pistons' Isaiah Stewart:

James later referred to the suspension as "some bulls**t," Reuters reported, after which the league publicly warned him against "using profane language during media availability."

The outlet said James' one-game ban kept him off the court against the New York Knicks, who beat the Lakers 106-100 Tuesday.

'LeSnitch' and 'LeKaren' are born

The very next day James was back in action in a road game against the Indiana Pacers — and James' troubles began where they left off.

But this time King James was upset at heckling fans rather than opposing players.

So upset, in fact, that he dragged a referee over to a couple sitting in the front row, pointed them out, and seconds later security was escorting a man and woman from the arena.

And Twitter ripped James — mocking him as "LeSnitch" and "LeKaren" for his crybaby antics:

LeSnitch back to his old tricks! He'll call fouls on people who aren't even in the game, cry to the officials. It's what he does. He whines to the league when things don't go his way. Nuggets fans remember what happened in the playoffs.https://twitter.com/TheNBACentral/status/1463701744358150150\u00a0\u2026

Wait. He got heckling fans kicked out of an opponent's arena? That's just embarrassing. LeKaren.https://twitter.com/ActionNetworkHQ/status/1463701481308123139\u00a0\u2026

The unnamed spectators seemed to take it well — the contest was almost over anyway:

But that wasn't all.

Prior to James getting the spectators ejected — which occurred during overtime — he made an obscene gesture with just over a minute left in the fourth quarter after draining a 3-point shot that gave his Lakers a six-point lead.

The following is video of James making the gesture for all the Pacers' fans to see:

Maybe that's what the soon-to-be-ejected fans were annoyed about.

Anyway, the NBA was upset, too, and fined James $15,000 for the gesture, which NBC Sports said was a "big balls" dance made famous by former NBA player Sam Cassell.

James ended up scoring 39 points as the Lakers won 124-116 over the Pacers.

Maybe LeBron had a chance to chill over Thanksgiving.

Two GOP House members fined $5,000 for bypassing new metal detectors; Republicans say Pelosi did too



Two Republican members of Congress have been hit with $5,000 fines for circumventing the metal detectors leading into the House chambers under new rules passed this week in the Democrat-controlled body.

But GOP members say Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) was seen skirting security, too, and deserves the same fine.

What are the details?

CNN reported Friday that "GOP Reps. Andrew Clyde of Georgia and Louie Gohmert of Texas have both been fined $5,000 for how they went through the metal detectors" according to a senior Democratic aid, noting that "These fines are part of a new rule established this week."

Gohmert confirmed to news to Axios, telling the outlet, ""We'll be appealing because this is ridiculous. This isn't 'The Godfather' where you plant a gun in the toilet tank. There is no toilet tank in the bathroom."

Shortly after the news broke, the Republican office of the Committee on House Administration sent a letter to the House sergeant at arms, to inform him that on Thursday, "at approximately 9:59 am, multiple members observed the Speaker of the House entering the House Chamber without completing security screening."

The GOP committee's Twitter account sent out a message saying, "Speaker Pelosi broke her own rules this week by entering the House Chamber without going through security. We are demanding she face the same fines as every other member of Congress."

What's the background?

In the days following the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol when Congress was set to count the Electoral College votes for the presidential election, new security checkpoints including metal detectors were installed outside the doors entering the House chamber.

Some Republican members expressed fury over the additional measures, and a number of them refused to comply, including Gohmert.

Fellow GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert tweeted at the time, ""I am legally permitted to carry my firearm in Washington, D.C. and within the Capitol complex. Metal detectors outside of the House would not have stopped the violence we saw last week — it's just another political stunt by Speaker Pelosi."

Pelosi reacted to the resistance by proposing a $5,000 fine on members the first time they dodge the metal detectors, and a $10,000 fine for the second offense — with the penalty being deducted directly from members' paychecks. The measure passed earlier this week.

Forbes noted that Pelosi declared at a press conference last month that "the enemy is within the House of Representatives," citing members who "want to bring guns on the floor" and "have threatened violence on other members."
