Twitter has gone wild after Brett Favre endorsed President Donald Trump in the upcoming election. The former NFL legend became the latest celebrity to back Trump in his re-election campaign.
Favre said he believed in Second Amendment rights as well as freedom of speech and religion. He believes Trump embodies these principles and values of hard-working citizens.
In the tweet, Favre wrote, “My Vote is for what makes this country great, freedom of speech & religion, 2nd Amnd, hard-working tax-paying citizens, police & military. In this election, we have freedom of choice, which all should respect. For me & these principles, my Vote is for @RealDonaldTrump.”
Critics Condemned Brett Favre For His Endorsement
Several critics of both Trump and Favre condemned the former quarterback for the endorsement. One user brought past controversies involving Favre. For his instance, they mentioned $1 million Favre received in Mississippi welfare money for speeches he didn’t make. Favre agreed to repay the misallocated money.
Several users also brought up when Favre sent unsolicited nudes to a model who worked for the New York Jets in 2010.
Brett is suffering from white privilege, greed, ignorance, racism and probably CTE.

You’re a very wealthy man. You’re also VERY out of touch. Voting for Trump requires a heavy dose of denial & cognitive dissonance. Wake the hell up, Brett. Look around you. Trump lies like a raging wildfire. pic.twitter.com/YZMwwRtFN0
