Kimberley Klacik, who was elected to the Baltimore County Republican Committee in 2018, shared on social media a short clip of a Tyson interview wherein ‘Iron’ claimed that he’s conservative. Klacik said:
The clip is a part of an interview with Greta Van Susteren on Newsmax. In the interview, ‘Iron Mike’ was initially hesitant to answer questions about his political beliefs, saying some of his friends and family may hate him afterward.
