Former NFL star Antonio Brown fired up the crowd at a Trump rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, taking aim at Kamala Harris’ running mate, Tim Walz, labeling him “not a real football coach.” Brown, who rose to fame with the Pittsburgh Steelers, compared his underdog rise as a lowly sixth-round draft pick to Trump’s political ascent, drawing cheers from the crowd. Wearing a MAGA hat, Brown also slammed the media as “crazy” and teased his appearance on social media earlier in the week, further energizing Trump supporters.
Taking the stage alongside fellow former Steeler Le’Veon Bell, Brown didn’t hold back. He mocked the media for portraying him and Trump as “crazy” and declared, “We are not. They are.” As Trump continues his push for Pennsylvania’s crucial 19 electoral votes, Brown’s fiery support adds to the former president’s appeal among working-class and red-leaning voters in the state’s rural regions.
The rally comes at a pivotal moment in Trump’s campaign, with Pennsylvania positioned as the key battleground state that could decide the 2024 election.
