Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green says those involved in the insurrection at the US Capitol on Wednesday were not “protesters” but “terrorists.”

The 30-year-old was speaking to reporters after his side lost to the Los Angeles Clippers on Thursday and gave an impassioned response when asked about the DC riots.

“Stop describing those people the same way you describe someone who’s just standing there, and making a chant,” he said.

“Stop using the same word. It’s disrespectful. It’s ridiculous and it’s shameful to keep calling them protesters. They’re not f**king protesters, they’re f**king terrorists.”
