Brett Favre slams Joe Biden over 'garbage' comments, says 'it would be crazy' to vote for Kamala Harris

Brett Favre slams Joe Biden over 'garbage' comments, says 'it would be crazy' to vote for Kamala Harris

Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre spoke at Donald Trump's rally in Green Bay, where he made his legacy as a Packers quarterback.

The 11-time Pro Bowler said he had “never” spoken at “an event like this,” but with the election just six days away, “I decided it was time.”

“There has never been a more important time in our lives than this election campaign,” Favre began his speech.

“There is an incredible amount at stake. Families across Wisconsin are struggling to make ends meet. People's salaries have not kept pace with inflation. It is becoming increasingly difficult for younger people to buy their first home. People are losing hope in the American dream.”

Favre said it's not just about “money,” citing 50 fetanyl overdoses last year in Brown County, Wisconsin. He also said that the younger generation is “faced with the prospect of World War III.”

“We’ve had President Trump before – we’ve already seen Kamala in action. We can compare and know which is better,” Favre continued. “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results… It would be insane to give Kamala four more years in office. So it’s time to bench Kamala and bring in the star quarterback.”

“The USA is a great country. But we all know: Kamala ruined it. Trump will fix it,” Favre added. “I lived the American dream, but I want to make sure future generations can achieve it too. So remember: Let’s Make America Great Again.”

Favre also said that Trump “just like the Packer organization…is a winner.”

Favre also criticized President Biden, who appeared to call Trump's supporters “trash.”

“I can assure you that we are not trash. How dare he say that? I see police officers, teachers, nurses, grandparents, students. I see everyday Americans making this country great,” Favre said.

Biden denied calling Trump's supporters “trash.” Asked if Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of trash,” Biden replied, “The only trash I see floating out there is his supporters.”

Favre has long supported Trump and said last year that the country was in a “better place” when he was president. He supported Trump in 2020 because of his stance on free speech, gun rights and support for the military and police after a summer of racial unrest following the death of George Floyd.
