The Daily Mail reported that Mahomes wrote in September 2017 that Trump had "offended waaaay too many people." It wasn’t clear what the tweet in question referred to, but it came at the height of Trump’s criticism of NFL players who knelt during the national anthem in protest of racial injustice.
Patrick Mahomes donated $500 to the NFL Players Association’s political action committee, according to Open Secrets. The NFLPA donated $45,000 to Democrats and $35,000 to Republicans, the site says.
