Less widely reported, however, were comments\nthat Brewer made in media interviews where he expressed his fervent opposition\nto abortion and rejected the concept of same-sex \u2018marriage.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a Fox News Channel interview following the White House\nmeeting, Brewer told host Laura Ingraham, \u201cI take the high road and I am a man\nof God. I know that in this nation there have been over 20 million black babies\naborted and we\u2019ve completely changed and went against the bible and changed\nwhat the constitution of marriage means. I stand against that, Laura,\nadamantly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Former NFL Player Jack Brewer Responds to Media After They Call him Uncle Tom for Supporting Trump\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HKWF1wuZoCk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to his comments about President Trump, liberal\nmedia commentators called Brewer, and other black leaders in attendance at the\nmeeting, \u201cUncle Toms.\u201d Brewer strongly pushed back against that\ncharacterization and challenged the commentators to talk about their own work\nto help the black community and compare it to Brewer\u2019s record. Programs that\nBrewer established and funds with his personal resources feed over 15,000 poor\nblack children every day. He also has been instrumental in establishing\nhospitals in America and around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Brewer was an All-American football player in college and\nplayed for five seasons in the National Football League. Following his football\ncareer, Brewer became a successful businessman and philanthropist. He was a\nstrong supporter of Democrat President Barrack Obama but later soured on the\nDemocrat party because of negative outcomes of their policies for the black\ncommunity. This is significant in the upcoming US presidential election because\nthe Democrats are relying on near universal support of the Democrat nominee in\norder to defeat President Trump. For his part, Trump is actively courting\nAfrican American voters, touting a historic rise in job opportunities for\nblacks, corresponding reduction in unemployment and a historic criminal justice\nreform agenda that will reduce incarceration of black Americans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liberals have smeared the star by calling him an &#8220;Uncle Tom&#8221; in response to his comments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":11078,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"mc4wp_mailchimp_campaign":[],"jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"subtitle":"Liberals have smeared the star by calling him an \"Uncle Tom\" in response to his comments.","format":"standard","video":"","gallery":"","source_name":"","source_url":"","via_name":"","via_url":"","override":[{"single_blog_custom":"","sidebar":"","second_sidebar":"","share_position":"","share_float_style":"","post_date_format":"","post_date_format_custom":"","post_reading_time_wpm":"","zoom_button_out_step":"1","zoom_button_in_step":"1","number_popup_post":"1"}],"image_override":[{"single_post_thumbnail_size":"","single_post_gallery_size":""}],"trending_post_position":"","trending_post_label":""},"jnews_primary_category":{"id":"511"},"jnews_social_meta":{"fb_title":"","fb_description":"","fb_image":"","twitter_title":"","twitter_description":"","twitter_image":""},"jnews_override_counter":{"view_counter_number":"0","share_counter_number":"0","like_counter_number":"0","dislike_counter_number":"0"},"footnotes":""},"categories":[804,511,805],"tags":[869,911,1728,427,611,491],"class_list":["post-11076","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breaking-news","category-culture","category-foreground","tag-donald-trump-2","tag-family","tag-gay-marriage","tag-marriage","tag-nfl","tag-pro-life"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.9 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
