The wife of Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio has expressed her displeasure with President Trump, writing on Twitter that she now has second thoughts about having voted for the president last year.

“President Trump I voted for you, which I now regret,” Linda Del Rio tweeted. “Football is a powerful platform - here’s the charitable work we did in Mexico City #NFLproud.” She posted several pictures with that tweet of work the Jack Del Rio Foundation did over the weekend while in Mexico.

Del Rio’s tweet was posted hours after the president took Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch to task on social media for apparently sitting for the U.S. national anthem and standing for Mexico’s during Sunday’s Raiders-Patriots game in Mexico City.


On Twitter, the president wrote:

“Marshawn Lynch of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders stands for the Mexican Anthem and sits down to boos for our National Anthem. Great disrespect! Next time NFL should suspend him for remainder of season. Attendance and ratings way down.”

Although I'm glad she regrets her vote it would have been nice if she was a more informed voter. As it stands now she is still part of the problem.

1. Too frickin' late, lady.

We told you not to vote for him.

[calimary]

2. How ANY woman could vote for Mr. "Grab 'Em By the Pussy" is totally beyond me.

But then again, listening to the weasel-ass excuses offered by the female Alabama governor who claims she believes the women accusing Roy Moore of being a sexual predator (especially predator of young teenage girls), and then declaring she's gonna vote for him anyway, I guess that's where we are now.

Machiavelli is alive and well...

3. Too late to do anything about Trump, but if she wants to come to the light...

7. MORE of his regretful supporters need to come out & say it. nt

[tomg]

8. To Linda Del Rio and others

who regret voting for Trump - glad you see the light, but the only way to make amends is to vote for the Democrat in the future - from president to senator to house rep to state and county officials to local elections. I love it when a former Republican rejects what they have finally become or has a real change of heart regarding the basic ideology of the party. But if you are simply another self-interested 1% and you find him too vulgar or too naked in his grasping for power and money, or decide that he has come out against your own private cause or interest, then your regret is less than worthless. Trump is simply an embodiment of the current Republican Party,

10. Only because he is messing with her husbands business

No other reason it seems. Glad she is coming to her senses as far as Trump but in typical winger fashion it is for selfish reasons.

[UpInArms]

11. So far, I have never regretted a vote I cast ...

And was so proud that our last President was such a wonderful example of humanity

[Freethinker65]

12. She will be just fine if she gets her taxes cut

[Ferrets are Cool]

15. If you were stupid enough to vote for him in the first place, you don't get a do-over

[jimlup]

16. These folks leave me dumb founded...

I mean what the hell? Like it wasn't obvious before November of last year???

[bluestarone]

17. that makes me mad

we could have won by 3 million and 1 votes if she would have voted for Hillary

[olddad56]

18. I regret that millions of Americans were stupid enough to vote for the pussy grabber.

especially after he was exposed for bragging about it.

[Different Drummer]

19. I remain shocked that there are so many people...

to whom that revelation didn't seem to matter.

[iluvtennis]

21. Ditto, shes part of the problem. nt

[KPN]

23. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!

Please dear God, smite these people.

[TomSlick]

24. Come on guys.

I get it - we can't understand how people voted for Trump. However, the 2016 election is over. The goal must be to convince people not to repeat that mistake. The penitent must be accepted with open arms.

Eyes on the target!

[still_one]

25. Bullshit to you Ms. Del Rio. You decide to step up when the asshole in the WH criticizes one of

your business interests

It didn't bother you when he was spewing his racist, sexist, bigotry during the campaign, but it bothers you now that he attacks one of your investments.

[JI7]

26. fuck her, as others say she is only upset since it involves their business

[Skittles]

27. I wish I could give her points

but honestly, she still makes me sick

[muriel_volestrangler]

29. Locking - the hosts feel this person's opinion is not important news of national interest

as the LBN rules require. Please repost in the General Discussion forum. Thanks.
