Karma!!! I love it.
@joelmcnultymusic
People with strong opinions commenting on narratives. I know way too much about this man, and he would never knowingly be taking money from poor people. He wouldn't. I don't care how many people want to fight with me about this. People jumping on this like a mob mentality. It's sickening. Any ignorant / ad hominem replies are just that.
@lamarjeter7911
Lol people with certain skin colors get sympathy points for stealing from thousands of people 😅😅
@Scott-oo2cz
He developed brain damage during the Vikings/Saints playoff game. If I’m not mistaken the DC for the Saints was the bounty hunter record keeper.
@vinrocjean3109
Karma took food from poor
@Nodebt2024
Good News 👍🏾
@kentpass
Remember kiddies it’s always the fox guarding the hen house. Stealing money from the most needed. How Christian of you. Now he’s the victim. Just another grift and theft of the American peoples money by people in power. Nothing to see here.
@walterAnders
Brett didn't steal anything he lobbied politicians too the same politicians like Kamala who's recieved welllllll more than he ever did
@JumboJuneau
….because no one else in the poor districts of Mississippi has health issues, I guess you need our pity.
@bmwlane8834
BS
@marciacrisp7011
It doesn't change the fact that you STOLE and redirected funds from the American taxpayers and defrauded the welfare system denying those truly in need and you should have been prosecuted then and still now! The fact you paid it back was an admission of guilt along with your text messages but We The People still want the interest you owe us!!
@BlkDeuce
I guess Karma caught up to him….wasn't he accused of phawking around with other women when his wife was battling cancer? And now he's in deep doo doo for misuse of welfare funds!
@isitrachelorj3953
HAHAHAHAHA! It was either "I'm sick" or he was going to "die" like Ken (Enron) Lay or Epstien and spend the rest of his days in hiding.
@skankler4410
No one cares. Is this his attempt at a “get out of jail free card”?
@bluemoon2675
Brett is a liar.
@MeMe-jq3ky
I was shook when I heard this. 😅 🎉 🥁
@angelusmortis3150
And just like that MAGA wants science to save him. Most scientists are liberals. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@AC-hu5tg
Lets see all them texts! Nobody's gonna do any fact checking?
@buckbenelli8
Where are all the apologists? Sadly , he’s still not in jail.
@i.m.6758
You got caught Brett. You were a great quarterback, but a horrible person. You stole the money. You knew it. You text that you knew it. What are we talking about?
