OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors said he awoke Saturday morning to “about 20 text messages” from friends who were expressing their support for him.
At first, he said, he had no idea what they were talking about because he had not checked social media. Then he saw President Trump’s tweet.
“Surreal,” Curry said.
One day after Curry told reporters that he would rather not accept an invitation to visit the White House because of his objections to the current administration’s policies and rhetoric, Trump tweeted that he was revoking any invitation because of Curry’s remarks.
