In an older interview with ‘The Daily Wire’, Covington took some shots at NBA player LeBron James. When asked about his thoughts on James, Covington said, “Just a big hypocrite. He talks about his two biggest things he loves to talk about: equality and justice. Where’s the equality of employing women in Chinese sweatshops to make your merchandise for millions of dollars while they’re making pennies? Where’s the equality in that?”

Speaking about James’ school and charities, Covington said, “I know firsthand when you’re making a lot of money, you need tax-writeoffs and these schools, these charities, yeah he wants to look like a good guy on camera. Like he is doing good for the people. This is just a tax write-off man for his billion-dollar business. He needs this so that he can keep all that cash in the bank.”
