Biden campaign hits Trump on 'boring' football comments ahead of NFL draft
President Biden’s reelection campaign unveiled a digital ad ahead of Thursday night's NFL draft, calling out former President Trump for saying football is "boring."
The 20-second video opens with Trump saying at a rally that “football is boring as hell” and a photograph of Biden with Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce during a visit to the White House after winning the Super Bowl last year.
It also includes Trump saying “nobody cares about football because of it … it’s boring” and shots of Biden holding a football with players.
“Make the right pick in November,” the ad concludes.
The video was released on the social platform X shortly before the first round of the NFL draft kicked off in Detroit. It aimed to highlight that “Biden is a proud football fan, cheering alongside the over 120 million Americans who watched this year’s Super Bowl,” according to the president's campaign.
"You just posted a video where Biden could barely hold up a football. Dumbasses," Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung wrote in a post on X.
"Here’s what a real athlete looks like,” Cheung added in the post, which included video of Trump throwing a football in 1992.
Second gentleman Douglas Emhoff attended the draft and said in a statement that Americans come together over football while Trump will likely “be sitting on the sidelines trying to make tonight about himself, rage-posting on his failing social media platform and spewing his extreme, divisive, and historically unpopular agenda.”
“Donald Trump’s hatred for football is as out-of-touch as his extreme agenda: his threats to democracy, his constant attacks on women’s rights, and his economic policies that leave working families out to dry,” Emhoff added.
