Brittany Mahomes, the wife of NFL superstar Patrick Mahomes, was heavily criticized after she liked an Aug. 13 Instagram post by former President Donald Trump.
The post Mahomes liked was an image that listed 20 things the Make America Great Again (MAGA) GOP platform plans to do if Trump is elected president in November.
Not long after Mahomes liked Trump’s post, she was criticized widely on social media.
One person wrote, “Patrick Mahomes, imagine marrying someone who doesn’t care about your rights and your kid’s rights. Brittany Mahomes agreeing with Project 2025 but married to a black man with mixed kids is insane.”
Another wrote, “Just found out that Brittany Mahomes is apparently a Trump supporter, and I’m not like super surprised, but it is incredibly disappointing to see.”
The soon-to-be mother of three responded to her critics by saying, “To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood. There’s no reason your brain is fully developed and you hate to see others doing well.”
Mahomes followed her statement up with a quote from evangelist Shane Pruitt that read, “Contrary to the tone of the world today…you can disagree with someone, and still love them. You can have differing views, and still be kind.”
Under Pruitt’s quote, Mahomes wrote, “Read that again!”

“Honestly, I didn’t know anything about her being criticized until she shared my post on her Instagram Stories,” he said. “Then, major media outlets across the world started sharing articles about it all. People started sharing those stories with me, and that is how I found out about everything.”
