Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson ignited some anger on the left by re-posting a pro-Christian message from a conservative provocateur.
'It's all about Jesus,' read the X post from Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA co-founder
In itself, the post isn't altogether different from what Jackson typically puts on social media. A devout Christian, Jackson's X page is dominated by bible verses, baptisms and some occasional football content.
But Kirk has faced accusations of racism for his attacks on diversity initiatives and the idea of white privilege, making Jackson's re-post a bit more divisive than his others.
'Kirk is outright racist and would easily throw Lamar to the cotton fields,' wrote one critic about the white podcaster and black NFL star. 'It's so tone deaf.'
'Lamar Jackson out here retweeting Charlie Kirk,' another wrote. 'Hope he continues to choke in the playoffs.'
One respondent put it more succinctly: 'Lamar retweeting a very known racist…'
Several critics acknowledged that Jackson may not know much about Kirk, a frequent target of liberal anger who was recently lampooned on South Park.
Regardless, at least one criticized the Ravens star anyway.
'[Guys I'm] very aware that lamar jackson probably has zero idea who charlie kirk is and is solely [retweeting because it] talks about his faith,' one person wrote on X, adding: 'it still wild to see your favorite players name right above the second spawn of satan himself.'
The online reaction belonged to conservatives, many of whom responded to a post from @_MLFootball by accusing Democrats of religious intolerance.
'Is this the point we've come to?' former ESPN host and current Donald Trump supporter Sage Steele wrote on X. 'Criticizing someone bc of their religious beliefs? Just stop. Stay strong @Lj_era8 and keep being an example for so many in Baltimore & beyond!

Charlie Kirk should come out as a supporter of inhaling oxygen.

The left gets to decide what is “controversial”, because it gives them the “Heckler’s Veto”.
Unlike liberals, Jesus accepts and welcomes everyone. Sort of like Michael Jordan and his shoes.
conservative provocateur...
Hahaha, no bias here!
If they repent. HE’s NOT the he gets us JESUS.
Lol, I love it.
People who are pro DEI are the racists.
Correct.
That’s right.
That’s the truth.
OMG - a PRO-CHRISTIAN MESSAGE!!!
They refuse to tolerate any opinion other than their own on every single issue.
Liberal tears, whether come from rage or blubbering sorrow, are always so satisfying.
