Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes brushed off former President Donald Trump’s political comments about his wife,John Caldwell Brittany, on Fox News.

While speaking to reporters on Wednesday, the Chiefs' star quarterback said he isn’t fazed by Trump calling Brittany a supporter of his.

“No, I mean I think at the end of the day, it's about me and my family and how we treat other people. And I think you see is that Brittany does a lot in the community,” Mahomes said. “I do a lot in the community to help bring people up and give people other opportunities to use their voice. And so it's in the political times, people are going to use stuff here and there. But I can't let that affect how I go about my business every single day and live my life and try to live it to the best of my ability.”

Mahomes’ response stems from a Fox News interview with Trump in which the former president was asked about Taylor Swift’s endorsement of vice president and current presidential candidate Kamala Harris. Patrick and Brittany Mahomes are connected to Swift through her relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

“I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better, if you want to know the truth. She’s a big Trump fan,” Trump said on Fox News. “I like Brittany. I think Brittany is great.”

Brittany hasn’t publicly endorsed Trump. But she did receive backlash when she seemingly liked an Instagram post by Trump last month and allegedly unliked the post at a later date after criticism. Brittany later doubled down on her opinion on Instagram by calling her critics haters. She’s also liked several comments that were pro-Trump on her Instagram.

Patrick, who played a large role in making GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium a polling location by splitting the cost with the Chiefs in 2020 and is active in voter registration, said Wednesday that he won’t use his platform to endorse a presidential candidate.

“I've always said I don't want my place and my platform to be used to endorse a candidate or do whatever, either way,” Patrick said. “I think my place is to inform people to get registered to vote, to inform people to do their own research and then make their best decision for them and their family.”
