Patrick Mahomes remains apolitical after Trump’s glowing praise for his wife, and it’s driving leftists crazy

September 12, 2024 | | Print Article

Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes has refused to endorse anyone for president despite his wife’s support for former President Donald Trump.

“I don’t want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate or do whatever, either way,” he told reporters at his regularly scheduled media availability on Wednesday.

“I think my place is to inform people to get registered to vote. It’s to inform people to do their own research and then make the best decision for them and their family,” he added.

His apolitical stance prompted massive praise from conservatives.

However, his stance also prompted massive anger and rage from some intolerant, bigoted leftists who demand that everybody on Earth share their opinions.

His apolitical stance comes about two weeks after his wife, Brittany Mahomes, came under heavy fire from the left for committing the crime of liking an Instagram post by former President Trump.

In response to the criticism she faced, Brittany basically told her leftist haters to go pound sand.

“To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood,” she wrote in an Instagram Story.

Her willingness to stand up for Trump earned her praise from the former president several times, including on Wednesday when he praised her again during a Fox News appearance.

“I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better [than Taylor Swift] if you want to know the truth,”  he said. “She’s a big Trump fan. I like Brittany. I think Brittany’s great.”

Brittany and her husband are good friends with singer Taylor Swift and her husband, Mahomes’ longtime teammate and close friend Travis Kelce. However, unlike Brittany, Swift is a supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris.

Asked on Wednesday about Trump’s latest praise for his wife, Mahomes gave a shout-out to his wife for allowing people to think freely.

“I think you see Brittany does a lot in the community,” he said. “I do a lot in the community to help bring people up and give people an opportunity to use their voice.”

“In political times, people are going to use stuff here and there, but I can’t let that affect how I go about my business every single day of my life and trying to live it to the best of my ability. At the end of the day, it’s about me and my family and how we treat other people,” he added.

During a recent appearance on the “Whoop” podcast, Brittany said her husband helped her deal with the backlash she’d faced for liking a Trump post.

“Having him to help me get through it has helped a lot because he is very good at managing those things and blocking people out and doing all that type of stuff,” she said. “Having him beside me and kind of guiding me, coaching me through it has helped a ton. I think that’s kind of gotten to where we are at now.

“I think the main thing he always told me is like, ‘Stop caring about what people think, especially the people that don’t even know you.’ And so I think social media used to get me a lot, and now it’s just like, honestly, I don’t give a f— about what people have to say about me anymore,” she added.
