“Hanging Out With Antonio Brown Lately”: Free Agent Dez Bryant Slammed for Dragging Donald Trump Into Rapper Young Thug’s Criminal Trial

The three-time Pro Bowler, Dez Bryant, has taken issue with the former American president previously. He has often expressed his opinions on Donald Trump and vocally criticized him. This time, the free agent wide receiver tweeted something unsavory in his timeline about the former president. He thought that the former 45th President should be prosecuted under RICO. Although the former Cowboys WR said it jokingly, he got into some heated debates and arguments with fellow Twitter users.

It looked like the former Baltimore Ravens WR is closely following the criminal trial of the Grammy-winning rapper Young Thug.

Fans did not like what Dez Bryant tweeted about Trump

The high-profile criminal trial began in January. Jeffery Lamar Williams, the legal name of Young Thug, was arrested on May 9, 2022.

He was initially charged with one count of participating in illegal street gang activities as well as one count of conspiring to break the state’s Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Later, he was accused of possessing a machine gun, possessing a firearm while committing a felony, and three counts of violating the Georgia Controlled Substances Act. He was then charged with another allegation of involvement in street gang activity.

Bryant publicly said that the 76-year-old businessman should be hit with a RICO. Many fans disagreed with him. Therefore, he received a lot of retaliation.

This user wrote that the WR is meeting the tainted former wide receiver of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 

However, one fan did agree with Bryant.

Does Bryant dislike Trump?

In 2017, Bryant spoke against Trump when he expressed his displeasure with Colin Kaepernick. Trump said that any player who knelt during the national anthem should get banned from the league. Hence, to protect his teammates and to support Kaep, Bryant said that as sportsmen, it was important for them to stand together and fight against racial injustice.

He also publicly expressed his support for the current president, Joe Biden, who defeated Trump in the 2020 presidential election. But he has never openly accepted his dislike for Trump.
