Along with sharing her endorsement, a former race car driver’s unapologetic love for country found her slamming a rapper’s recent “F*ck America!” tirade with a message of her own.
The Democratic Party’s efforts at division have done little to stymie the unity movement coalescing around former President Donald Trump. As figures from across the spectrum likened themselves to the Justice League or the Avengers, assembling against radical Marxists, Danica Patrick pulled no punches when she told America haters, “You can leave if you want!”
Posted to her Instagram story, the message was a reaction to the seemingly Hamas-sympathizing rapper Macklemore getting a Seattle crowd to cheer as he declared “F*ck America!”
“I really [don’t] care if someone hates America. You can leave if you want. No issue. But please don’t attack or judge an American for saying they love America,” she posted.
The former NASCAR and IndyCar driver’s post came as she showed her support for Trump by hosting Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard on a Reclaim America Tour stop in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Sharing her opening remarks from the event, Patrick wrote on X, “I love [A]merica. Let’s make it great again.”

Harkening back to her December attendance of Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest, the Formula One analyst noted how calling to “Make America Great Again” earned her backlash.
“All it did was light a fire.”
“I was like, I will not be judged, to live in America, be an American, be a proud American, say I love America and want to make America great again. I won’t be judged for it. In fact, instead of quieting down, I’m gonna get louder,” she told the crowd Saturday.
Meanwhile, on Instagram, she wrote, “My my…. look how far I have come since attending Amfest in December with my sister. Watching this Avengers style team of Trump supporters assemble over the last year has been amazing. And even more amazing is what kind of country they could build. So much diverse talent with such passion and knowledge.”
“The most interesting point made the other night was that Donald was not able to create his transition team when elected in 2016 until Nov 5 because that’s when the budget was made available. He felt he was behind from the start and then didn’t have the right people in place to fully execute his vision. This time he is starting 3 months early,” she detailed. “With a lot more experience than last time. Let’s go.”
Previously, she posted while taking heat for expressing her views, “Here is where I stand with SOME current issues and politics. I am not a liberal. I am somewhere between Republican and independent. I think our country should be run by someone that knows business and has integrity. I believe we should be able to speak freely.”
The social media commentary added, “I think it’s bullsh*t that Democrats can be proud but a Republican can’t in society. As a result, there is so much propaganda that penetrates mainstream media. I love this country, and I have lived other places. I believe when people of different opinions speak face to face, we realize we are more similar than different.”
“I don’t believe everything anyone says,” Patrick asserted. “I have been very torn over the years if I should give a…about politics or just live the life I want as an example. I have been doing the latter. The reaction today is definitely interesting… since all I said was, I love this country.”
