WATCH: Kansas City Chiefs Defensive End Frank Clark Wears Trump/Kanye Hoodie To Super Bowl Presser
The NFL star wearing Trump swag to a pre-Super Bowl media scrum is just fantastic.
Did Frank Clark wear the shirt to show his support for the President? That’s unclear.
Whatever his reason, it was a pretty cool moment.
Clark was asked by a confused reporter about the shirt he was wearing.
“The shirt? I got my good friend in L.A. At Zero’s; it’s a clothing store. I’ll never forget. You all know the moment when Donald Trump met Kanye. A historical moment in our history,” said Clark as he and the reporters chuckled.
The image on the shirt was the photo of then-President-elect Trump meeting with Kanye West in the lobby of Trump Tower in December 2016 along with the words “Never Forget.”
Benny Johnson, Turning Point USA’s Chief Creative Officer, tweeted out the video:

Benny followed up his original tweet with a reminder to those who are quick on the draw with “Cancel Culture” — Frank Clark is a pretty awesome guy.

Who knows why Clark wore the shirt — for media attention, because he supports the President, or to promote his friend’s business. It doesn’t really matter. It was a ballsy thing to do and it’s pretty awesome!
Here’s to you, Frank Clark!
