Hall of Fame closer Goose Gossage attacked Democrats Tuesday and defended President Trump, who he said could be the only one to replace the Steinbrenner family as New York Yankees owner.

“I’m hoping and I’m praying that these (expletive) go off the cliff to never be heard from again,” Gossage said. “All of them! Nancy Pelosi and that lying Chuck Schumer. And then (expletive) Robert Mueller and the (expletive) Mueller Report, and the FBI … I hope some of them go to jail!”
Gossage, who reminisced with the newspaper about the life of Hank Steinbrenner, said it’s Trump who can be the only person to replace the Steinbrenners as owner of the Yankees. He also said he was an unabashed Trump supporter.
The former Yankees pitcher told NJ.com he felt Trump was being unfairly criticized for how he handled the coronavirus pandemic.
“It’s just lies, lies, BS, BS,” he said. “They don’t even respect the election. The majority of liberals still think the Russians got him in office. They all want him out of power.”

He added that he believes Democrats want the economy to be in the gutter in order for Joe Biden to claim the White House in November.
“I cannot even fathom that they would go to this length, but this is the last straw,” Gossage said. “Where would you attack Trump? In the economy. That’s all they have. And let me tell you something, people are (expletive) dying and the liberals could give a rat’s a-s.
“Our civil liberties are under siege. And Biden, he can’t put (expletive) two sentences together!”
