Dwyane Wade On Donald Trump's Tweet


Last week Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump tried to exploit the tragic death of NBA star Dwyane Wade's cousin, Nykea Aldridge, who was gunned down on the streets of Chicago while pushing her child in a baby carriage [click here if you missed that].

Dwyane Wade addresses Trump's actions...

D Wade tells ABC News
"I was conflicted [about Trump's Tweet]. On one end your cousin's death is used as a ploy for political gain."
"On the other end, it's a national story. It goes back to that for me. I want eyes on this city. I want us to be able to do more together. The only way we can do more together is if more people know what's going on."
"I was grateful that it started a conversation but on the other hand it left a bad taste in my mouth."
