Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, has sparked controversy with her apparent endorsement of former President Donald Trump on social media. Despite facing backlash, Mahomes seems to be doubling down on her support, engaging with pro-Trump comments on her Instagram posts.
Last week, Mahomes was criticized for liking a post that appeared to be in favor of Trump, prompting her to initially remove the like. However, according to reports, she then proceeded to like several comments on her subsequent Instagram post that expressed support for the former President.
The move has been met with intense scrutiny, with many calling out Mahomes for her apparent political stance. While her husband, Patrick Mahomes, has maintained a neutral stance on politics, Brittany’s actions have put her in the spotlight. In an interview with TIME in April, Patrick emphasized the importance of individual freedom to choose one’s own candidate, stating that he wouldn’t pressure anyone to vote for a particular president.
“I want people to use their voice, whoever they believe in,” Patrick said. “I want them to do the research.” Meanwhile, Brittany’s social media activity has raised questions about her own political affiliations and whether she will continue to express her support for Trump.
