Brown has voiced his support for the elder Trump on social media in the past, as he seemingly campaigned to be his running mate earlier in the year. However, the elder Trump ended up choosing JD Vance to run with him.
As a result of his outward support for the elder Trump, he has received from backlash from supporters of the Democratic candidate in Kamala Harris. One supposed supporter of Harris issued a death threat Brown’s way on X.
People want to call Trump supporters racist

Brown won’t have to wait much longer before he’ll be able to vote for who should be the country’s next president, as elections will be held on Nov. 5, which is less than one month away as of now.
Before Brown became a popular social media personality, he spent more than one decade in the NFL playing for three teams — the Pittsburgh Steelers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New England Patriots — after he was selected with the No. 195 overall pick in the 2010 NFL draft.
During his pro career, he totaled 12,291 receiving yards, 83 receiving touchdowns and 607 first downs receiving, while averaging 84.2 receiving yards per game. He also earned seven Pro Bowl nods as an NFL player, and every one of those selections came when he played for the Steelers earlier on in his tenure.
There was a six-season stretch from the 2013 season through the 2018 campaign where Brown was a Pro Bowler every season. He also led the NFL in total receiving yards twice during that period of time, as he totaled 1,698 in the 2014 campaign and 1,533 in the 2017 season.
Expect Brown to continue to connect himself to the Trump family as the elections draw nearer and nearer. He is seemingly hoping that the elder Trump will become the president of the United States for the second time in the near future.
