President Trump Advisor Blasts Giants Star Abdul Carter For 'Pathetic' Behavior

New York Giants pass rusher Abdul Carter is being accused of throwing Jaxson Dart under the bus, metaphorically speaking.

Dart, who had an exceptional rookie year with the Giants, was trending on social media Friday because he agreed to introduce President Donald Trump at a rally in Suffern, New York.

"What an honor, what a privilege it is to be here," Dart said. "Without further ado, I'm grateful, I'm honored, I'm pleasured to introduce the 45th and 47th president of the United States of America, President Donald J. Trump."

There were plenty of people who disagreed with Dart's decision in large part because they don't see eye-to-eye with the president. Others thought it was just wrong to mix sports with politics.

Carter, who was selected by the Giants in the same draft class as Dart, went on social media to call out his teammate.

"Thought this s- was AI, what we doing man," Carter wrote on X.

This post from Carter received plenty of pushback from Giants fans. One of President Trump's advisors, Alex Bruesewitz, thought it was "pathetic" that Carter aired out his complaints on social media.

"Rather than picking up the phone and calling his teammate like a man, he runs straight to the internet to score cheap points with the woke crowd all in a blatant attempt to publicly embarrass Jaxson Dart and create a rift in the locker room," Bruesewitz wrote. "Pathetic behavior from Abdul Carter.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Carter should apologize to his team."

Giants legend is not thrilled with Abdul Carter.

Two-time Super Bowl champion Lawrence Tynes also ripped Carter for throwing shade at Dart.

"The locker room is a sacred place because it brings together everyone from all walks of life and beliefs for one common goal," Tynes said. "Calling a teammate out publicly for his political views and to get attention is nasty work."

Tynes was the kicker for the Giants from 2007-2012. He finished his NFL career making 190 of 233 field goal attempts.

As of this moment, Carter hasn't responded to Tynes' criticism.
