Cancel culture has come for celebrities who support Donald Trump.
The Left tries to threaten people into abandoning the President-elect.
And a World Series champion suffered an awful fate over Donald Trump.
Former baseball star Johnny Damon’s friendship with Trump met with backlash
There has been a shift in the culture about supporting President-elect Donald Trump this year.
Celebrities who openly supported him in 2016 and 2020 would have had cancel culture bearing down on them.
Two-time World Series champion Johnny Damon dealt with it for being a friend and supporter of Trump.
Damon signed a free agent deal with the New York Yankees which was how he met the President-elect.
Trump invited him and former New York Mets star David Wright to play golf with him at Mar-a-Lago.
Damon appeared as a contestant on NBC’s The Apprentice in 2015 after his baseball career came to an end.
The former baseball star told Fox News that some people could not handle his friendship with Trump.
“Unfortunately, whenever you say you’re friends with Donald Trump, we have a lot of people who just can not understand that,” Damon said.
He endorsed Trump in 2016 and spoke at a rally in Orlando, Florida which sparked a backlash from left-wing baseball fans.
Trump appointed him to serve on the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition in 2020 with fellow Yankees great Mariano Rivera, UFC fighter Colby Covington, and other greats.
Johnny Damon is happy that Trump is headed back to the White House
Damon supporting Trump’s Presidential campaign put him in the crosshairs of baseball’s overwhelmingly left-wing media.
He celebrated the President-elect’s victory as a win for the country.
“We’ve just been really good friends, and I’m glad that he’s back in office and I’m glad we have somebody who’s going to be out there, somebody who’s going to answer questions, somebody who’s going to do the work to make America great again,” Damon explained.
The former outfielder said that Trump has already accomplished more than President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.
“Unfortunately, this last administration, we can’t see anything positive that they’ve done, and hopefully, Donald Trump doesn’t get any backlash for anything he’s doing because he’s already done more than what President Biden has done in his four years and Trump’s not even in office right now,” Damon stated. “So, I’m very, very happy my friend is back in office.”
He vowed that his support for Trump would not change no matter what nastiness he had to deal with.
“I’m going to continue to be friends with him,” Damon said. “And I support my friends through the thick and thin, the good and the bad, so that’s who I am and that’s who I’m going to continue to be.”
Damon was one of the many athletes who supported Trump in this election.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown, NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre, and former NFL running back Le’Veon Bell all spoke at rallies.
Donald Trump built his biggest political coalition yet in this election and won the biggest victory for a Republican in decades.
