Barry Sanders reacts to comical Garth Brooks scandal

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Garth Brooks was erroneously raked over the coals on social media by a certain segment of the Twitterverse due to confusion over his decision to recently don a Barry Sanders jersey.

After watching the country music icon wrongly — not to mention comically — vilified, the Detroit Lions legend has surfaced to react to the ridiculous controversy.

It all started with a dispatch from Brooks on Instagram in which he’s wearing the aforementioned Sanders jersey.

Brooks was merely thanking fans in Detroit in the post — having performed in concert at Ford Field on the night in question — and the Sanders jersey was simply worn in honor of the Lions icon.

This was somehow missed by the social media reactionaries, who instead accused Brooks of endorsing Bernie Sanders, who of course is currently running for president as a Democrat.

On Friday, Sanders — the former football player, not the politician — capitalized on the absurd situation by delivering a brilliant tweet that was delightfully on point.

1. Trumpkins are truly dumbasses. You have got to have shit for brains anyway to support Trump

So I can't say I am surprised when dumb shit comes out of their mouths.

3. Wouldn't it be supporters of Biden more likely since he's running against Bernie

Trumpers are voting for Bernie or so it’s been said.

4. Clearly says Trump2020 in the responses

So that tells me they are Trump fans.

2. Whatever will dutchgirl1262 do?

Will she eat a nice roasted crow to go with the egg on her face?

I seriously doubt it, she will probably double down.
