WATCH: MLB Star Stands Ground As Reporters Hound Him Over Pro-Gun Post: My Family Fled Castro

As reported by The Daily Wire earlier this week, progressives pounced on Boston Red Sox star J.D. Martinez for a five-year-old pro-Second Amendment Instagram post. And although Martinez was forced by the leftist mob into apologizing for committing the grave sin of possibly “offending” someone, the slugger stood firm in his pro-Second Amendment stance, explaining to liberal reporters that his family has had first-hand experience with the brutal dictatorial regime of Fidel Castro in Cuba.

“As most of you guys know I’m Cuban-American, and most of my family was run out of Cuba because of a brutal dictator,” Martinez told a swarm of reporters on Tuesday. “It’s terrible. It’s one of those things where I’ll never get to meet some of my family because of it.”
