Curt Schilling claims AIG canceled his insurance, due to his pro-trump* social media?? [View all]

The link is to the Washington Examiner so....... And, not that I care but, if true, what kind of sense does that make?

Curt Schilling says AIG canceled his insurance policy over pro-Trump social media profile

World Series champion pitcher Curt Schilling says his insurance company canceled his plan due to his social media posts, which have recently praised President Trump.

"We will be just fine, but wanted to let Americans know that @AIGinsurance canceled our insurance due to my 'Social Media profile,'" Schilling tweeted Tuesday while tagging the insurance company AIG.

Schilling responded to a skeptical Twitter user by posting a screenshot from his communication with the company.

“Cut out personal information and kept the relevant part readable,” Schilling tweeted. “But ya, it's real and I don't imagine it's even close to what we will witness in the coming months, years, if we let the Nazi's win and the fraud is allowed to stand.”
