Patrick Mahomes rejects Donald Trump's comments about Brittany

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes dismissed former President Donald Trump’s political comments about his wife Brittany on Fox News.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, the Chiefs’ star quarterback said he didn’t mind Trump calling Brittany his supporter.

“No, I mean, at the end of the day, it’s about me and my family and how we treat other people. And I think you see Brittany does a lot in the community,” Mahomes said. “I do a lot in the community to uplift people and give them other opportunities to use their voice. And that’s the way it is in political times, people are going to use things here and there. But I can’t let that affect how I go about my business every day and live my life and try to live it as best as I can.”

Mahomes’ response follows a Fox News interview with Trump in which the former president was asked about Taylor Swift’s support of Vice President and current presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Patrick and Brittany Mahomes are linked to Swift through their relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

“To tell you the truth, I actually like Ms. Mahomes a lot better. She’s a huge Trump fan,” Trump said on Fox News. “I like Brittany. I think Brittany is great.”

Brittany has not publicly supported Trump. However, she received backlash when she seemingly liked an Instagram post by Trump last month and later allegedly unfollowed the post after criticism. Brittany later reiterated her opinion on Instagram by calling her critics haters. She has also liked several comments on her Instagram that were pro-Trump.

Patrick, who was instrumental in establishing GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium as a polling place by sharing costs with the Chiefs in 2020 and who is active in voter registration, said Wednesday that he would not use his platform to endorse a presidential candidate.

“I’ve always said I don’t want my position and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate or whatever,” Patrick said. “I think my job is to educate people so they can register to vote, so they can do their own research and then make the best decision for themselves and their family.”
