“Can’t get over just how fraudulent the entire party is. From Obama, Clinton to Pelosi and Reid to this [expletive],” Schilling wrote in his post.

The former ESPN analyst appeared to go on an expletive-filled political rampage after he posted a news link about former California state Representative Leland Yee to his Facebook page on Sunday. Yee, a champion of gun control, was sentenced to five years in prison for accepting bribes and trafficking in arms.

Could former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling be considering a run for office?

The entry garnered more than 40 comments, and several replies from Schilling himself.


“You might be the expert on fraud,” wrote one commenter, referring to Schilling accepting a $75 million deal from Rhode Island to move his video game company there from Massachusetts. Two years later, Schilling’s 38 Studios was in bankruptcy.

“Because? Your dumb [expletive] state offered my company a bond to move there?” Schilling retorted in a reply. “You [expletive] elected and continue to elect inept, corrupt and ignorant public officials? Because I invested 50m of my own money in my company?. . . I get it though. 12 years later and you’re still not over the biggest choke in sports history. Let me help ya out.”

Schilling then posted a picture of his 2004 World Series championship ring.

When another commenter noted it was “too bad you won’t win the upcoming election,” Schilling replied, “I’m not running. . . I am going to run, soon.”

When prodded by another commenter for details, Schilling wrote, “state office first, white house in 8 years. . . or 4 if by some amazing illegal event this country elects another clinton.”

And when yet another commenter criticized Schilling’s post, the former major leaguer responded, “So liberals just really don’t give a [expletive] about truth, at all? Not surprising.”


When one person asked how GOP nominee Donald Trump is “any different,” Schilling replied: ‘Wait what? How is he any different than an anti-gun liberal who smuggles and sells illegal firearms? Let me count the ways you [expletive].”

Schilling at one point appeared to troll yet another commenter, writing that the US media is “liberal, biased and full of [expletive],” and seizing on that commenter’s apparent location in Seattle.

“So ya, you don’t actually live in this country. Seattle is pretty much a canada south, with that awesome min wage law working wonders for employment,” Schilling wrote.
