Redskins DC Jack Del Rio under fire over tweets supporting Trump

Washington Redskins defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio is in hot water over his tweets late Tuesday that showed support for President Trump.

Responding to a fan who criticized him for being a Trump supporter, Del Rio tweeted: “I’m 100% for America, if you’re not you can kiss my A$$.”

Earlier in the evening, Del Rio had quote tweeted several pro-Trump accounts. The 57-year-old shared a fake picture attributed to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with the caption “Wow ?!! Proof….. C’mon AOC.” The original poster, Wendy Moran, declared Ocasio-Cortez “hates America” and included an image of a fake tweet in which the Democrat allegedly suggested keeping businesses closed until after the November elections.
