Former NFL star quarterback Brett Favre has taken a swipe at pop sensation Taylor Swift for political reasons ahead of the upcoming 2024 presidential elections.
The 11-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro is known to be a supporter of former President Donald Trump and has previously endorsed him.
He’s since taken a shot at Swift, who recently endorsed Democratic candidate and Vice President Kamala Harris following Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes informing everyone that he wouldn’t endorse a candidate.
“Good take by Mahomes,” he wrote in a tweet.
“I see a lot of celebs trying to influence their audience instead of letting the people think for themselves. If the best choice for them ain’t clear and they’re easily swayed by their fav pop artist, it’s not going to be a good thing.”
Brett Favre Was Destroyed In His Comments Following His Tweet
The tweet was likely directed at Swift, given the “pop artist” part. However, fans did not appreciate such a message coming from Brett Favre, given his recent legal issues.
The former quarterback has been called out over the allegations claiming he improperly received $1.1 million from a nonprofit organization that misused welfare money in 2020.
“That’s right, real Patriots like yourself steal welfare money!” one fan wrote.
“Does this include you coming out to say you’re voting for Trump or ? It’s no different than Taylor endorsing Harris. Weird take,” another asked.
“Is it unpatriotic to steal money from poor people?” a third questioned.
“Stop acting like anything you say should be taken to heart,” someone wrote.
“What about you putting yourself before all and stealing from the poor?” another comment read.
Favre should have known such comments would only serve as an avenue for backlash, but it appears he’s not going to allow the looming probe to keep him quiet.
