Brittany Mahomes has fired back at her ‘haters’ after the Kansas City Chiefs WAG sparked a liberal meltdown by liking a Donald Trump post on social media.
Brittany, who has been married to Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes since 2022, reacted to the online uproar on Friday with a post on her Instagram story.
Initially, eagle-eyed users caught the soon-to-be mother of three liking a Trump post mapping out 16 of his policies to his 26.3million followers; ranging from topics on immigration to the economy.
The like has generated plenty of outrage amongst liberals on social media, and Brittany appeared to hit out at her critics in a fiery response.
‘I mean honestly, to be a hater as an adult you have to have some deep rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood,’ she wrote.
There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well,’ she added.
Brittany’s apparent endorsement of Trump’s policies could lead to an awkward reunion with fellow Chiefs WAG Taylor Swift, who has publicly expressed disdain for Trump and voted for his ex-rival Joe Biden in the past.
Fans believe the political controversy could even be enough to bring their newfound friendship crashing down on the eve of the new NFL season.
After Mahomes’ like was unearthed this week, many believe Swift – a known liberal who publicly accused Trump of ‘stoking white supremacy’ in 2020 – will now ditch her fellow Chiefs WAG.
One wrote on X: ‘Well it looks like Brittany can forget posting up with Taylor Swift in the skyboxes from now on. Could seriously strain their tik tok relationship’.
Another posted: ‘This season is gonna be awkward in the stadium suites with Brittany and Taylor Swift.’
While one quipped: ‘Brittany Mahomes….Taylor Swift is never ever getting back together with you.’
Former NFL running back Herschel Walker, best remembered for his playing days on the Dallas Cowboys in the mid-to-late 1980’s, is also a Trump fan. Walker served as a co-chair on the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness and Nutrition under the Trump administration.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and 49ers defensive end Nick Bosa were blasted in March for hanging out with Trump at UFC 299, as well.
Brittany, who’s come under fire among the NFL fandom community in the past for being outspoken, was praised for her like on Trump’s post by the former President’s supporters on X.
She was also bashed by Democrat-leaning balloters, however.
‘Never thought I’d become a Brittany Mahomes fan but here we are,’ a right-leaning NFL fan joked.
‘She’s the worst,’ claimed another person, seemingly liberal, while someone else, presumably a MAGA supporter, chimed: ‘She knows politics better than she knows sports.’
‘swifies vs mahomes is my superbowl,’ a different user shared, referring to the difference in political opinion between the popstar, her fanbase and Brittany.
In 2018, Swift, who has had a demonstrable impact on voter registration in the past, endorsed Democrat candidates in her home state of Tennessee by posting on her Instagram: ‘I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights. I believe we all deserve in this country.’
Swift, however, did not attend the DNC in Chicago this week due to her touring obligations although her fans have already started to rally around US Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Waltz.
