Brittany Mahomes Shares Cryptic Post on 'Hate' After Charlie Kirk Incident
Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, shared a social media post that seemed to reference the recent assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Brittany, who co-owns the NWSL's Kansas City Current, reposted a quote from author Sharon McMahon on her Instagram story. The quote highlighted the negative impact of hate and its inability to bring healing or construction.
While Brittany did not provide further context for the post, it followed the assassination of the far-right activist at Utah State University.
Brittany Mahomes, who is rumored to support the Republican Party, has not publicly disclosed her political affiliation. Last year, she faced criticism for liking a 'Make America Great Again' post on Instagram during the 2024 Presidential election campaign.
After receiving backlash for her social media activity, Brittany Mahomes responded by emphasizing the need to address underlying issues causing hate and congratulated by then-candidate Donald Trump.
Various figures in the sports world reacted differently to Charlie Kirk's death. Barstool Sports' Dave Portnoy increased his security measures following the incident, while NFL players like Lamar Jackson, Jaxson Dart, and Harrison Butker expressed their thoughts on the tragedy.
Conversely, the Carolina Panthers terminated a staff member for making a joke about the incident, and a transgender Team USA cyclist openly celebrated Kirk's death.
Authorities in Utah announced the arrest of a suspect, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, in connection with the shooting on Friday.
