Tim Walz’s background as a former high school football coach has become a part of his phony persona.
He never expected to get challenged by someone who played at the highest level.
And an NFL star had one message for Tim Walz that caused him to turn red with rage.
Former Steelers great mocks Tim Walz at a Trump rally
Former President Donald Trump has picked up more celebrity support this election than either of his previous campaigns.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has become known for his colorful posts on social media after his playing days came to an end.
He endorsed Trump and vowed to help the former President get elected.
Brown and some of his fellow former Steeler greats, running back Le’Veon Bell and wide receiver Mike Wallace, attended a Trump rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania – about an hour from Pittsburgh.
“Let’s vote for Trump! Let’s make some noise for the President!” Brown exclaimed.
The former NFL star praised Trump for dealing with the mudslinging by the media.
“I have experienced low points and have to overcome adversity. Just how I watched Donald Trump overcome adversity,” Brown said. “No matter what the media threw at him, no matter what people say to try to bring him down, he continue to push forward and keep getting back up. And he’s always ready for the fight.”
Brown has been taking shots at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on social media.
Democrats have emphasized Walz’s background as a former high school football coach during the campaign.
Brown called out Walz at the rally.
“And by the way, Tampon Tim Walz, he isn’t a real football coach,” Brown said. “He could never guard me.”
He hit back at his media critics, pointing out that Vice President Kamala Harris and Walz were the crazy ones.
“I know the media is going to call me and Trump crazy for having me speak here. But I want to make this clear—we are not [crazy], they are. You know Kamala Harris and Tim Walz . . . did you really know they want to put tampons in the boys bathroom? Is that crazy? That’s really insane, right?” Brown asked.
Bell had a simple message for the crowd that had a large number of Steeler fans.
“Let’s go, Trump, you already know, vote Trump, let’s go,” Bell said.
Trump hammers Kamala at the rally
Trump stuck to his attacks on Kamala over support for banning fracking, which created an energy boom in Western Pennsylvania.
“Kamala has said repeatedly that she wants to ban fracking, which would kill over 500,000 jobs in Pennsylvania alone,” Trump said.
He played a video of Kamala repeatedly expressing support for Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D-NY) $90 trillion Green New Deal.
“I will terminate the New Green Scam,” Trump vowed. “We will frack-frack-frack and we will drill baby drill.”
Donald Trump has built the biggest coalition of his political career in this election.
The former Steeler greats are just some of the new supporters of the Republican Party who want to put the former President back in the White House.
