Phil Mickelson’s latest response to American political commentators Tim Miller and Sam Stein regarding their comments on his mentality is gaining traction on social media. The six-time major champ does not shy away from sharing his opinions on political matters and often engages in verbal exchanges on the internet.
In one episode of The Bulwark Podcast, Miller and Stein discussed Mickelson’s views and his posts on X (previously Twitter). Referring to the LIV golfer’s posts and ideas on deportation and illegal migrants, the duo criticised him. In the clip, Stein labeled Phil Mickelson as “a disturbed dude” and said:
Thanks for the submission!
“If this is an honest reflection of how he thinks, he’s a disturbed dude… If you’re thirsting over the idea you can cane somebody because they’re here illegally, then you need to go get help.”
Phil Mickelson did not hold back from criticising the duo via a comment below Stein’s repost on X. The 55-year-old professional golfer fired back at Stein and Miller, stating that they are both “morally superior”. He wrote on X:
“Sam, you and Tim are both morally superior so congratulations on that. When our laws are not enforced and illegal immigrants are enticed and paid to be here, it’s the citizens,veterans, tax payers who are punished.”
