DeAndre Hopkins pulled over: Cardinals star swerved through Trump Rally flipping people
On his way to the to State Farm Stadium to play the Seattle Seahawks, DeAndre Hopkins angered a bunch of Donald Trump supporters after he showed two middle fingers while swerving through the rally on the I-10 highway. An outspoken critic of the racism prevalent in the United States, the 28-year-old was seemingly driving his black Ferrari with photos of him going viral on Twitter. Many supporters who were participating in the Trump Rally, claimed that Hopkins was driving his Ferrari recklessly, and seemed like 'trying to cause an accident'.
A Twitter user said that he was in the rally with his 8-year-old son and the Cardinals star was swerving in and out trying to cause an accident. The user called the 28-year-old a piece of trash and said that while he can political statements, he put people at risk today. April Garcia, another participant in the Trump Rally, told AZ Central that the driver of the Ferrari was driving quickly and making it dangerous to be on the highway.
While it has not been confirmed Hopkins is the subject of the pictures, many slammed the wide-receiver for his actions. The Arizona Cardinals have yet to comment on the allegations against Hopkins. The 28-year-old has not addressed the alleged incident either. According to AZ Central, the Arizona Department of Public Safety said it did not have a record of a traffic stop involving the Cardinals star.
