Brett Favre backs Trump for president

Former NFL great Brett Favre endorsed President Trump on Friday, citing “freedom of speech and religion” and 2nd Amendment rights as two of his primary reasons for backing the Republican incumbent.

“My Vote is for what makes this country great, freedom of speech & religion, 2nd [Amendment], hard working tax paying citizens, police & military,” Favre wrote on Twitter. “In this election, we have freedom of choice, which all should respect. For me & these principles, my Vote is for @RealDonaldTrump.”
