Former Pittsburgh Steelers legends Antonio Brown and Le’Veon Bell endorsed Donald Trump at a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, where the former president highlighted his energy policies, particularly his support for fracking. 

The event, held at Arnold Palmer Regional Airport, saw both former NFL stars publicly voicing their support for Trump onstage.

Brown, wearing a red MAGA hat, rallied the crowd by saying, “Let’s vote for Trump!” He also led them in a "Here we go Steelers" chant, showing his excitement. Bell added to the enthusiasm, urging attendees to “vote Trump” passionately. 

During the rally, Trump directed his criticism toward Kamala Harris, calling her a “radical left liberal” and criticizing her stance on fracking. He claimed her policies could result in the loss of over 500,000 jobs in Pennsylvania. In contrast, Trump reaffirmed his commitment to fracking, stating, “We will frack-frack-frack and we will drill baby drill.” He also criticized Harris for her economic policies, accusing her of wanting to raise taxes and calling her a threat to democracy.

The former president also took aim at Harris’ immigration policies, sharing an anecdote about the rise of illegal migration in Pennsylvania under the Biden-Harris administration. The rally, filled with personal remarks, ended with Trump making a light-hearted comment about Arnold Palmer, adding humor to his speech.
