The NFL wife and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Brittany Mahomes has faced backlash from her critics after she appeared to support President Trump on social media. Despite the criticism, Mahomes is not backing down, according to Fox News, as she continues to express her views openly. In a recent Instagram story, Mahomes challenged the motives of those criticizing her, insinuating that their disapproval stems from personal insecurities and unresolved childhood issues.
Mahomes’ support for Trump’s 2024 agenda became apparent when she appeared to like an August 13 Instagram post urging “border control” and “keeping men out of women’s sports.” After facing a wave of criticism, Mahomes seemingly removed her like from the post. However, she has continued to indicate her support for Trump by liking comments on her recent Instagram posts that express backing for the former president.
One comment liked by Mahomes endorsed “TRUMP-VANCE 2024,” while another commended her for not caving in to pressure from those who disapprove of her political leanings. Kelly Stafford, wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, also appeared to like this second comment.
In recent reports by TMZ Sports and the New York Daily News, Mahomes was said to have unliked those comments on her Instagram account. It is worth mentioning that Patrick Mahomes, Brittany’s husband and Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback, has refrained from publicly discussing his political affiliations. In an interview with TIME back in April, Patrick stated he would remain neutral during the 2024 election to encourage people to make their own informed decisions.
