Antonio Brown under fire over Trump’s bizarre tirade attacking Kamala Harris and “Tampon Tim” Walz after months of vulgar tweets about the vice president
Antonio Brown is thick in the weeds and Donald Trump is the previous couple of days left to spice up support for the former president’s re-election campaign.
The former Pittsburgh Steelers player participated with a mission to spread disinformation and criticize Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris and her vice president, Tim Walz, during an Oct. 19 MAGA rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.
Trump and crew have turned the state into their favorite hangout, holding quite a few rallies there since the thwarted assassination attempt in July. The former NFL wide receiver can also be a well-known face there, having played for the Steelers for eight seasons from 2010-2018.
Brown’s skilled profession resulted in 2022 when he was released from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers following multiple incidents of bizarre behavior which have occurred since then. Some speculate that CTE may even be accountable for his actions and tirades.
Speaking to Trump supporters at a recent early voting rally, he raised eyebrows in an try and discourage voters from supporting Harris-Walz.
“I know the media will think I’m crazy – me and Trump – for speaking here, but I want to make it clear: we don’t, they do,” he told attendees.
The 36-year-old encouraged cheers against the Democratic candidates, repeating debunked claims akin to Governor Walz forcing Minnesota schools to “put tampons in the men’s bathroom.”

Last July, Minnesota lawmakers passed a bill requiring schools to “provide students with free access to menstrual products.” It specifies that “products must be made available to all menstruating students in restrooms” utilized by students in grades 4-12.
“By the way, Tampon Tim Walz, he’s not a real football coach. He would never be able to protect me,” Brown said, taking a have a look at Walz’s work as a highschool football coach. He also bizarrely shouted out “MAGA coin” and “MAGA movie,” which drew little response from the astonished crowd.
X users have reacted harshly to the retired athlete, calling him a “loser” for proudly supporting a twice-impeached politician. Someone else in his speech said, “This nigga might lose Trump in the election.”
Third user he theorized that a reverse psychological trick may need been at play. “I’m kind of wondering about the strategy here. Invite someone who may be crazier than Trump,” they wrote. Another said: “AC–n Clown from CTE.”
Countless others said Brown’s political presence “shows off the Trump campaign desperation“
Despite warnings from former fans that “Trump wants nothing to do with him,” Brown’s support appears unwavering.
In the days before the rally, the former Super Bowl champion relentlessly disparaged Harris in a barrage of tweets. He controversially inserted himself into the debate about her race when he did so he wrote“Kamala looks like she just stepped off the Mayflower.”
A supporter got here to her defense after they asked Brown, “Why do you as a black man allow a white man to make racist comments on your behalf?” He never answered. Instead, he later posted a sexually demeaning tweet and questioned her mental competency.
