New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart was on hand Friday to introduce President Trump as he campaigned in the Empire State on behalf of Rep. Mike Lawler.
“What an honor, what a privilege it is to be here,” Dart told the crowd, after leading them in a Giants chant.
“I’m grateful, I’m honored,” he added, then introduced Trump, who gave the star a warm handshake.
Dart wasn’t previously known for being a highly visible Trump supporter, though he appears to hold some conservative views.
In September, the Giants QB condemned the killing of conservative activist and Trump ally Charlie Kirk.
“Praying for him and his family,” Dart wrote in a social media post. “Charlie did great things for our country!! Political Violence NEEDS TO STOP!! Pray for our country man. This is disgusting and sad.”
