“The Voice” coach John Legend and “Shark Tank” star Mark Cuban duked it out this week over the importance of donating to Democrats vs. feeding the hungry. Like a moth to a flame, Tom Arnold then joined Legend to lambaste the Dallas Mavericks owner for feeding people over funding Democrats in the George Senate runoff.
It all started when Legend did not take kindly to Cuban’s plea for people to donate to food banks as the pandemic continues causing financial strife for many families.
The singer and left wing activist believes instead of feeding people in need, the rich should instead give their money to Democratic Senate candidates in Georgia.
Mark Cuban And John Legend Vie Over Donating To Georgia Senate Races
On Thursday, the “Shark Tank” star encouraged his followers to put feeding people above politics.
There has been a sharp demand from Democrats to donate to the Georgia Senate races. They are salivating at the opportunity flip the Senate to Democratic control.
But, as Cuban points out people need food NOW. They don’t need political ads.
For those considering donating to Reps or Dems in the Georgia Senate run-offs, can you please re-consider and donate that money to your local foodbank
and organizations that can help those without food or shelter? Lets put Americans in need above Politics— Mark Cuban (@mcuban) November 12, 2020
This didn’t sit well with John Legend or other starts like Tom Arnold who are funneling money to politicians.
The politicians have a number of ways to convey their positions. Do we really need more ads from one party saying how horrible the other is ? Would you rather a family be able to afford a healthy meal or have a thanksgiving together ? Which do you think impacts a community more?

Legend showcases his own arrogance by failing to understand that people who are hungry now can’t wait until midwinter to get food.
Food is an immediate need.
The Democrats claim to be the party who supports the little guy, but Legend just showed us it’s all about power instead of feeding people.
Chrissy Teigen’s husband believes it’s more important to flip the Senate.

I get that politics is annoying and contentious, but the bottom line is that the Senate flipping would be far more impactful than a food bank donation. We need massive stimulus and aid to individuals and small businesses. Government needs to do this. Charity isn’t sufficient

Liberal Hollywood Hypocrisy
Cuban latched onto the opportunity to point out Legend’s hypocrisy.
The billionaire doesn’t believe one party can solve all the problems we face. He rightly points out that an over saturation of political ads doesn’t sway anyone.
There is a point where more ads are not useful. When that occurs, donations only line the pockets of the political consultants.
Let’s go all the way. Stop donating to charity, give those $ to politicians because 1 party will solve all of our problems! Come on John. There is a point of diminishing returns on political ad spend, there are no diminished returns when it comes to feeding the hungry. https://t.co/kGJsPrqw0K

This logic was lost on not-so-funny comedian Tom Arnold who has hobbled through the last four years saddled with his deep hatred for President Trump.
In a tweet dripping in hypocrisy, Roseanne Barr’s ex claims that Cuban, who donates to food banks, is not for feeding people.

Let me explain this to billionaire:
WE are the party of feeding people.
YOU are the party of not feeding people.
WE will use all of our money to flip the Senate so people get all the food all the time.
Thats how WE put Americans above Politics Mark Cuban. https://t.co/cmxE9NUSi1

In a single tweet, Mark Cuban exposed Tom Arnold’s tomfoolery and partisan games.
I’m neither party. The political duopoly is at the heart of why we are partisan. When you play us VS them it gets worse. Want to see it get better ? Take the money away from both parties. You eliminate the power of Mitch and Nancy and make them serve their constituents instead. https://t.co/XVYSUAE3mt

BOOM!
People have an immediate need to eat. There is always a tremendous need for food banks at this time of year.
This year it’s even more important because of the pandemic.
It’s shameful that anyone would put politics over feeding people.
