"Joke's on you": Former NFL RB Le'Veon Bell goes on a fiery rant after receiving hate for endorsing Trump
Donald Trump’s election victory has sparked strong emotions among voters, including athletes. Former NFL running back Le’Veon Bell, who was a supporter of Trump, took to X on Nov. 6 to go on a fiery rant as Trump won the Presidential election, thus becoming the 47th president of the USA.
He tweeted, “I COULDN’T WAIT FOR THIS MOMENT .. 😂😂 EVERYBODY THAT WAS TELLIN ME “BYE” .. lol WELL, BYE TO YALL 😂😂 or obviously be here and make american great again 🇺🇸🇺🇸”
Along with his tweet, Bell also posted a minute-long rant video. He was heard chanting "Joke's on you," while poking fun at people who criticized him for backing Trump.
Bell’s support of Trump was not taken kindly by many, as he received backlash for them. By his own admission, some even called him a “C**N,” a derogatory term used against Black people. Bell then called out his haters who criticized him as 'crazy' and 'tripping' for supporting Trump.
Le'Veon Bell will not leave the USA
Since Trump won the election, Bell said that he doesn’t have to move out of the country.
"I ain't going nowhere," he further added, "I'm here to make America great. Donald Trump for President!" In the video, Bell can be heard saying, “Y'all thought I was about to go somewhere?”
That related to his previous statement about leaving the country if Democratic candidate Kamala Harris won.
However, Bell received a negative response from former two-time Super Bowl champion Asante Samuel. The four-time Pro Bowler commented, asking Bell to do a favor and leave immediately. Samuel further commented that he would ask Bell every day if he had left or not.
Le'Veon Bell actively endorsed Donald Trump during the election
Le’Veon Bell endorsed Trump during his presidential campaign. Last month, Bell appeared at a rally along with former Steelers teammate Antonio Brown to support Trump in Pennsylvania. Later on, they watched the Steelers defeat the Cowboys.
Bell was also touched by Trump’s gesture during their meeting, calling the president 'a real one'.
“He a real one. He didn’t tell me like he was gonna let me say anything or nothing, he didn’t tell me he was going to call me up. He just did that bro – off the love.”
Bell and his fellow Trump supporters will now get another four more years of his presidency following his victory.
