New York Giants defensive lineman Abdul Carter posted criticism of teammate Jaxson Dart after Dart introduced President Donald Trump at a New York rally on Friday night. The post sparked immediate online backlash from fans and conservatives. Carter, a third overall draft pick from last year, has previously embraced his Muslim faith publicly.
Carter wrote on X on May 23 that he thought the footage of Dart was AI generated and questioned the situation. Dart had introduced Trump at the rally supporting Rep. Mike Lawler and led the crowd in a Giants chant without making political statements himself. Trump responded by calling Dart a future hall of famer in his view.
