Legendary NBA Power Forward Karl “The Mailman” Malone bucked the trend of athletes and celebrities standing up to endorse Democrats.
In a video message, Malone delivered an endorsement of former Ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman who’s running for Governor of Utah – a post he previously (2005-2009) before becoming ambassador to China.
In his endorsement, Malone said “We’ve had some great governors in the past, but the best one ever is Jon Huntsman Jr. So everyone go out and support Jon.”

Huntsman left his role as Trump’s Ambassador to Russia after spending two years in the post in October of 2019.
His resume also includes serving as US Ambassador to Singapore during the Bush 41 administration. In 2012, he ran for President but withdrew from the race after coming in 3rd place in the New Hampshire primary.
Thank you Karl Malone for your endorsement of GOP Politician Jon Huntsman Jr., we need people like yourself who can envision who best serves the future of America.
Is Huntsman another RINO?? I’ll have to look into that.
His father is. Junior is another silver spoon member of the “lucky sperm club” – I would scrutinize him closely.
As far as I’m concerned, he is. And rich as the dickens, to boot.
Apparently, for an athlete to be conservative – you know, believe that adults are healthier and happier if they get an education, a job and take care of themselves to the very best of their abilities and be ready if opportunity knocks? – or anyone Black is conservative, they have to be some of the bravest folks in America these days! That says a lot about Karl Malone in the courage department.
At last a real hero who can think for himself, and is bold enough to stand up for what he believes in. Have a great day Karl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
