Unlike Donald Trump, DeMarcus Cousins has no respect for Confederate statues and monuments. And Cousins, therefore, has no respect for Trump. The New Orleans Pelicans star had strong demands when a reporter asked him his thoughts on the removal of monuments celebrating the losers of the US Civil War.
TMZ got video of Cousins enthusiasticaly supporting the removal of said monuments, which has happened in a number of ways in recent days. Some cities and governing bodies have chosen to remove them voluntarily, while some citizens in North Carolina chose to do it themselves.
Donald Trump has called said monuments to slavery and oppression “beautiful,” but Boogie has no time for any of that.

“Take all them motherf–kers down,’ Boogie told TMZ when he was asked about the monuments while walking through the TSA line at an airport.
Somehow, DeMarcus Cousins sounded more presidential while using the word “motherf–ker” than the sitting president ever does, which is fairly remarkable … but 2017 is indeed a very special time and place in history.
Cousins is asked his opinion about Trump, and while he says he doesn’t really “want to say too much” he conceded that like Kevin Durant, he doesn’t “respect” him.
Cousins’ New Orleans removed some confederate monuments earlier this year, but the Nazi/white supremacist protest of the removal of monuments in Charlottesville, Virginia, last weekend brought the issue — and domestic terrorist attack against counter-protesters — back into the national conversation.
Boogie isn’t the first NBA player to disagree with Trump and it appears he won’t be the last. But now we know where Cousins stands on the issue.
