NFL<\/a> reporter James Palmer proved this week that he’s not afraid to get political.<\/p>\n

In honor of Cinco de Mayo, the official X account for the White House posted an A.I.-generated image <\/a>of Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer holding margaritas while wearing sombreros. This post received over 6.4 million views and 43,000 likes in under 24 hours.<\/p>\n

Palmer, who worked at NFL Network from 2015-2024, made it known that he disapproved of this post from the White House.<\/p>\n

“This administration continues to embarrass themselves on a daily basis,” Palmer replied.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, this post from Palmer stirred up quite the debate. Some NFL fans ripped his stance on the Trump administration. Of course, there were some people who applauded him.<\/p>\n

“Poor little James can\u2019t handle a meme. The 2 top Democrats who think men can become women,” one person wrote. “You support them.”<\/p>\n

“Why are you chiming in supporting Dems, James Palmer? 4 years of wide open borders and 20 million illegals later and the Jets still don’t have a QB,” a fan sarcastically replied.<\/p>\n

“Whew glad I was already following your account,” another fan said.<\/p>\n
