Bogut: 'Laughable' to link him with the alt-right

DALLAS -- Mavericks center Andrew Bogut considers it "laughable" that he's been associated with alt-right political beliefs as a result of his Twitter activity.

Bogut has recently followed some alt-right-related accounts, although he points out that he also follows accounts tied to the political left. The outspoken Australian received backlash on social media after a Nov. 24 tweet about "Pizzagate," a hoax conspiracy theory allegedly tying Hillary Clinton to a child-sex ring run out of a Washington, D.C. pizzeria, a story pushed by Donald Trump supporters and white supremacists.

If only 1% of this #pizzagate scandal is true, all people involved deserve life in prison (or worse).
