‘Not a Trump supporter’: Brooke Schofield responds to backlash for liking Trump photo

Brooke Schofield, the co-host of the "Cancelled" podcast, has found herself in hot water after liking an Instagram photo featuring former President Donald Trump alongside Kick streamer Adin Ross.

The incident, which occurred on 6 August 2024, has sparked significant backlash and discussions about her political stance.

In her response to the criticism, Schofield explained that her action was unintentional and occurred while she was mindlessly scrolling through Instagram on a flight. "I know how stupid it looks that I liked that post today, and I literally want to kick myself in the f**king face for it," Schofield admitted, emphasising the mindless nature of her interaction with the post.

Schofield further clarified her political position, stating unequivocally, "Not a Trump supporter. Okay? Period. I am not a Trump supporter." She expressed regret over the misunderstanding and stressed that her social media activity did not reflect her true beliefs.

This controversy follows closely on the heels of another issue where some of Schofield's old tweets resurfaced, leading to accusations of racism. She had recently apologised for those tweets in an emotional video, expressing regret for her past statements.

Her podcast co-host, Tana Mongeau, has publicly reiterated her support for Kamala Harris, aiming to distance both of them from the current controversy.
