Inclusive Leftists Throw Darts at Pro-Trump Jaxson Dart
The New York Giants’ young quarterback stirred controversy this week not for being arrested for crimes but for introducing Donald Trump.
Hey, remember that time an NFL quarterback made a lot of people angry with a political statement?
No, I’m not talking about Colin Kaepernick kneeling for the national anthem to protest “systemic racism.” I’m talking about Jaxson Dart, the New York Giants QB who just finished his rookie season and triggered Trump Derangement Syndrome by appearing with the 45th and 47th president at a rally.
The rally was last Friday, and all Dart did was introduce President Donald Trump after leading a “Go Big Blue” chant, but TDS leftists are still going nuts this week.

First, it was teammate Abdul Carter, who eloquently posted, “Thought this sh!t was AI, what we doing man.” It wasn’t long before the two-time arrestee deleted that post.
Former ESPN host Jemele Hill, who was mildly reprimanded in 2017 for calling Trump a “white supremacist who has largely surrounded himself w/ other white supremacists,” jumped in to pontificate that “politics have always mixed” with sports, but that changed “when, frankly, black athletes started to show more agency” and protested after George Floyd’s death. That was an oblique reference to Kaepernick’s shenanigans. Hill argued, “That’s when it became, oh no, don’t mix sports and politics.”
“In this particular case,” she continued, “this was an unforced error by Jaxon Dart. Again, Donald Trump is historically unpopular. You are the quarterback of the New York Giants. What was the point?”
Pat Leonard, a sports writer for the New York Daily News, lamented, “Jaxson Dart’s Donald Trump misstep makes [head coach] John Harbaugh’s job harder.” How so? “The Giants need to get better at football. Dart’s actions will impede that. He has invited a circus, a toxicity and radical sections of society into the Giants’ orbit.”
“Radical sections” like the voting majority who elected Donald Trump?
The (ahem) ladies of “The View” were their typical hateful selves. Though Whoopi Goldberg was a little confused about why it was even a topic, Joy Behar helpfully interrupted to explain why blacks should be offended.
“For somebody to back a guy like Trump, whose history in discrimination and racism goes back to housing discrimination in the ‘70s, DEI attacks, and posting pictures of the Obamas as apes,” she harangued. “When he’s on a team that is 55%, 60% — the NFL is that many people — that much percentage of black people — blacka [sic], that that is just the definition of stupidity and racist, in my opinion.”
Behar later warned, “Maybe he needs a little extra padding.” As if Dart’s teammates or other players are going to deliberately injure him, which, she’s implying, he might just deserve.
Her fellow talkinghead Sunny Hostin, who never misses an opportunity to play the race card, asserted, “When you know the history of this president and know the biases of this president, for a certain community, the black community, for me, this feels personal.” Good grief — Jaxson Dart was not personally insulting you or anyone else.
Back to Kaepernick for a moment, left-wing activist Harry Sisson complained on X to insinuate that Dart should face some consequences: “Colin Kaepernick never played another NFL snap again because he kneeled on a sideline.”
The X Community Note rebuts this perfectly: “This is false. Colin Kaepernick first kneeled in the 2016 preseason. He went on to start 11 games in the 2016 regular season, playing in 12. He finished the year 1-10 as a starter.” That is why he lost his job, not his anthem antics.
In any case, Dart addressed his teammates this week. We don’t know what he said, but the meeting reportedly went well, and I’ll bet he reassured them that everyone on the team is there to play football.
Meanwhile, the NFL has a lot of problems with players that don’t involve the heinous crime of presidential introductions. Instead, it’s actual heinous crimes. Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs was arrested this week and, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, he was charged with “battery/domestic abuse, criminal damage to property/domestic abuse, disorderly conduct/domestic abuse, strangulation and suffocation, and intimidation of a victim.” Sadly, that is not at all uncommon among NFL players.
But by all means, everyone, lose your minds over Dart’s Trump introduction.
