Trump Supporters Flip Out After Completely Misreading Garth Brooks' Shirt

Country music icon Garth Brooks is hearing something other than cheers from supporters of President Donald Trump who completely misunderstood the meaning of a jersey he wore to a concert in Detroit over the weekend.

Brooks’s SANDERS 20 shirt was meant to honor Detroit Lions great Barry Sanders. But Trump fans believed the name referred to Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, and the number of this year’s election.

According to the MLive website, he told fans at the concert:

“I was lucky enough to be an athlete and to wear the same uniform as this guy wore in college. I was lucky to go to school with him. You guys got the greatest player in NFL history in my opinion in this jersey. I love this man.”

Brooks said the Pro Football Hall of Famer wasn’t just the greatest player.

“He’s also one of the greatest human beings that you’ll ever get to witness and be with,” Brooks said. “He’s a good cat. It’s an honor to wear this jersey tonight.”

He also posted an image of himself in the jersey on social media and that when Trump supporters flipped out:

Many of the comments featured long-running inside jokes from fans of a comedy show. However, more than a few expressed surprise and outright anger at the jersey, leading to rants against Sanders and socialism. Some exhorted the musician to keep out of politics:

“G is a Democrat socialist!”

“Sanders???? WTF Garth???”

“If this is for Bernie Sanders, I’m done with you. I thought you were a true American that loves Our Country?”

“Weird. That a millionaire would like a socialist. Hey Garth are you going to distribute your millions?”

“Sanders is a foolish , crazy socialist!”

“Good grief. Can’t you just do what you get paid to do ???? Why why why does it have to involve politics !!! So sad. We don’t pay good money for anything other than to watch you perform.”

Guess these idiot MAGAtts never paid attention to Garth's lyrics. For the record, I don't know if he's a Bernie supporter or not. Being from Oklahoma, he could easily be a Liz Warren fan. But I'm reasonably certain he did NOT vote for the Orange Asshole - unlike most country singers who are tools of the right wing Nashville establishment....

I am happy to say I got to see Barry run live in a meaningless Bills season final during their Super Bowl years where they rested their starters. Sanders had the greatest two-yard loss I've ever seen. The run lasted for what seemed like 10 minutes...

“Weird. That a millionaire would like a socialist. Hey Garth are you going to distribute your millions?”

I've always found that argument massively annoying. If you have money you can't want the government to take some more of it to help those less well off than you. If you don't have money then you are just trying to take other peoples money.

The fact it is made so often by people who claim to follow the teachings of the Jesus character makes it even more sad.

It's also an argument made my middleish class retards that pay a higher percentage of their income in taxes than the wealthy do...
