The quarterback’s wife attracted attention for liking one of Donald Trump’s social media posts last month.
Trump didn’t take too kindly to the slight. “She seems to always endorse a Democrat. And she’ll probably pay a price for it in the marketplace,” he sniffed in a phone interview with Fox News on Wednesday.
The brouhaha—which actually began last month after Mahomes’ wife made a fateful, seemingly pro-Trump move on social media—had fans wondering whether the Chiefs quarterback would get involved.“I don’t want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate or do whatever, either way,” the quarterback told reporters before practice, according to the“I think my place is to inform people to get registered to vote,” he added. “It’s to inform people to do their own research and then make the best decision for them and their family.”Time magazine profile earlier this year. “I don’t want to pressure anyone to vote for a certain President,” he said. “I want people to use their voice, whoever they believe in. I want them to do the research.” The political spotlight swung over the Mahomes family last month, after Brittany Mahomes liked—then, as the dogpile began, unliked—a Donald Trump post on Instagram laying out the GOP’s 2024 platform. Brittany did not directly address the matter, but posted on her Instagram Story shortly after that to “be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood.” She had not endorsed a candidate as of Wednesday. The former president took notice, however, and posted on Truth Social that he wanted “to thank beautiful Brittany Mahomes for so strongly defending me.”“I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better, if you want to know the truth,” he said. “She’s a big Trump fan. I was not a Taylor Swift fan. “I think Brittany’s great,” he continued. “Brittany got a lot of news last week. She’s a big MAGA fan. That’s the one I like much better than Taylor Swift.”The Kansas City Star“I think at the end of the day, it’s about me and my family and how we treat other people,” Mahomes went on. “And I think you see, Brittany does a lot in the community. I do a lot in the community to help bring people up and give people other opportunities to use their voice. “In the 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 and live my life and try to live it to the best of my ability.”
