The wife of Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, is once again catching flack for daring to like a post shared by former President Donald Trump, who is the GOP presidential nominee for the upcoming election. Brittany Mahomes already issued one response to the backlash she received for liking the social media post, but she still has more she wants to say to all the haters out there.
It’s sad we live in a day and age where you cannot fully express your right to freedom of speech without some nitwit liberal throwing a hissy-fit temper tantrum like a disgruntled toddler. People have the right to do, say, and believe what they want. It’s called the First Amendment. Guess progressives have no idea what I’m talking about since they have seemingly never read any of the Constitution.

In a repost on her Instagram Stories on Aug. 26, Mahomes shared another user’s post that read, “Contrary to the tone of the world today….you can disagree with someone, and still love them. You can have differing views, and still be kind.” Underneath the repost, Mahomes wrote, “Read that again!”
While she didn’t specify exactly what her message was addressing, the pointed Story comes just days after sharing a similar sentiment on Instagram. Mahomes’ Aug. 24 post consisted of a block of text saying, “To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood. There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well.” Above the message, the wife to NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes added, “I mean honestly.”
The backlash stems from reports that Mahomes liked an Aug. 13 Instagram post from Trump. Outlets including Newsweek and The New York Post both reported on the apparent social media like, with multiple accounts on X (formerly Twitter) sharing screenshots and screen-recorded video of Mahomes’ Instagram handle appearing beneath Trump’s post.
So what was the post Mahomes liked that got all of these liberals’ panties in a wad? It was a graphic that listed a series of campaign talking points from the former president’s campaign, which included a few gems like keeping biological men who claim to be transgender out of women’s sports, secure elections, deportation of pro-Hamas radical and working toward making college campuses more friendly and safe toward conservatives.
Some individuals on social media stated they were not at all surprised to see Mahomes supporting Trump. A few others, including a few Taylor Swift fan pages — Swift and Mahomes are friends in real life — were disappointed she was a fan of Trump.
“Patrick and Brittany have enjoyed a whirlwind off-season since the Chiefs quarterback won his third Super Bowl ring in February. In July, the couple announced that they’re expecting their third child together,” PEOPLE reported.
I’m glad to see Mahomes sticking to her guns and not caving to the hate. She should not feel the need to curtail her own beliefs simply because others don’t like it and believe differently.
