<p>Retired NFL tight end Shannon Sharpe, a sports analyst on Fox Sports 1, faced backlash over the weekend for saying that he would rather pay $20 for a gallon of gas than have former President Donald Trump still in the White House.</p>
<p>&#8220;Anyone knows someone hiring that owns a gas station? You get a discount IF* you [work] at an establishment,&#8221; Sharpe wrote on Twitter on Saturday in a tweet that included a picture of gas pump where $118 was spent. &#8220;Do ppl still siphon off gas? It was a thing when I was a growing up.&#8221;</p>

<p>A random account on Twitter responded by asking Sharpe, &#8220;Shannon do you still hate Donald?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I’d rather pay 20 bucks a gallon than have Trump in office,&#8221; Sharpe responded. &#8220;Hope that answers your question.&#8221;</p>

<p>The following are some of the notable responses that Sharpe&#8217;s tweet garnered:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Nick Searcy</strong>, actor: &#8220;This is what rich a** kissing leftists like @ShannonSharpe are really like. They don&#8217;t give a damn about working people.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Greg Gutfeld</strong>, Fox News: &#8220;Lucky you.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Chris Barron</strong>, political strategist: &#8220;Ah yes s****ing on the poors to own the Trump supporters.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Jeff Carlson</strong>, political commentator: &#8220;Literally the Democrats 2024 campaign slogan.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Buzz Patterson</strong>, political commentator: &#8220;Shannon doesn’t care about poor people.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Matthew Betley</strong>, political commentator: &#8220;Easy to say when you have millions.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Gary Sheffield Jr.</strong>, commentator: &#8220;The statement makes sense if you make millions of dollars. Given the average American makes roughly $45K/year, I don’t think this opinion holds up around the country. Hence the approval ratings both CNN and Fox News agree are in the gutter.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Jesse Kelly</strong>: &#8220;Countless men have spent most of their adult lives trying to define communism and in the end it took a racist football player with the IQ of a gerbil to sum it up best.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Will Ricciardella</strong>, Fox News: &#8220;Every conservative on Sunday: let’s watch football! When will Americans understand they’re making people who hate them rich?&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Caleb Howe</strong>, Mediaite: &#8220;Can&#8217;t &#8230; can&#8217;t we have neither?&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Jim Hanson</strong>, political commentator: &#8220;Rich jacka** fine w/ bankrupting sports fans Because mean tweets give him sadz.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>John Cardillo</strong>, political commentator: &#8220;Sharpe here earned $22.3 million in his NFL career, then made $3 million/year at Fox. He can afford the gas. The single mom driving to her second job to feed her kids cannot.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Kurt Schlichter</strong>, attorney: &#8220;Loser.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Arthur Schwartz</strong>, Republican strategist: &#8220;Democrats should adopt this messaging straight through the ‘24 elections.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Mike Mason</strong>, political strategist: &#8220;I’ll take &#8216;things people with low IQ’s say&#8217; for a thousand, Alex.&#8221;</li>
