WATCH: Tom Brady Sacks MAGA with Cheap Shot from the White House
As the nation continues to suffer from a political divide that has sparked a number of violent incidents, Joe Biden is enlisting superstar NFL players to drive the wedge even deeper.
This week, as the Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers engaged in the traditional visit to the White House, one of the league’s most decorated men took a cheap shot at Donald Trump and his supporters with the help of the Commander in Chief.
In the middle of his speech — which was a brief 140 seconds long — Brady made a joke that referenced the large number of Americans who did not believe that Biden won last November’s election against the incumbent Donald Trump.

But we found a rhythm, we got on a roll,” Brady said. “Not a lot of people think that we could have won. In fact, I think, about 40 percent of the people still don’t think we won.”
Biden then interjected: “I understand that.”
Brady followed: “Do you understand that, Mr. President?”
Biden reiterated: “I understand that.”
The remark was soon going viral online.

And that wasn’t the only quip, either.

Not a lot of people think we could win, in fact, 40 percent, still don't think we won. You understand that, Mr. President?"

The remarks certainly had all the trappings of something whipped up on White House stationary, as PR people try to enlist Tom Brady in a campaign to denigrate the former President’s beliefs about the 2020 election.
