NY Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart shows up for Trump at event for Mike Lawler

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart made a surprise appearance Friday to introduce President Trump at an event to campaign for Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.).

“What’s up, what’s up, what’s up. Look, Big Blue Nation it’s a pleasure to be here,” Dart said to the crowd in Suffern, N.Y., as he introduced the president. “What an honor, what a privilege it is to be here.”

“And without further ado, I’m grateful, I’m honored, I’m pleasured to introduce the 45th and 47th president of the United States of America: President Donald J. Trump.”

Trump whispered something in Dart’s ear and shook his hand before the second-year quarterback walked off the stage.

born in utah. went to ole miss. did any giants fan expect jaxton(wtf) to be normal? had he been born in a blue state and attended a university not still mourning the confederacy’s demise, dart’s actions may have been cause for depression, but given his background it should come as no surprise.

You can’t hold WHERE someone was born against them as a prejudice — that’s silly. Should Democrats plain give up in red states because they are hopeless? Utah had Democrats as Senators from 1917 to 1941 and 1959 to 1977, so there’s no reason to think they can’t again…. As long as we don’t write them off & educate them to vote for their best interests.

- an all white, pro-trump line to protect him. Otherwise, it might be a short season for him!

. . .in the ways of when to low/high profile himself.

Eli knows all about NYC and environs, and how touchy the public and fans out there can get.

As a Giants fan, I just hope #ETTD doesn't afflict Dart that badly. But he's got to help the team win games and stay relevant throughout the season.. That's all I want.
