Pro boxer rescinds Trump endorsement after new Epstein file drop: 'I just can't support'

Source: Raw Story

January 31, 2026 5:52PM ET


Donald Trump is known to flaunt his pro sports endorsements, but he lost one Saturday.

Ryan Garcia, the right-wing, former champion boxer who is known for his Trump support and who was previously expelled by the World Boxing Council for repeatedly hurling racial slurs against Black people and disparaging Muslims, over the weekend announced that Trump has gone too far for his own moral tastes.

Writing on social media, Garcia said, "This is my public declaration and announcement, I’m reclining my past support for Donald Trump."

He then added, "Anyone that was involved in any thing to do with that island and what they were doing, I just can’t support in anyway. Children need to be protected, everyone knew better f--- that. Justice for all."

The corruption, grifting, incompetence, stupidity, ass-kissing of dictators, inflation causing tariffs et al was acceptable but the Epstein stuff isn’t.

Nice to know there is a limit for some MAGAts.

(and it does fully recline although it's in an odd spot to go all the way back)

Haven't used it much but really should! It's loud when you bring it back upright though.

Time to leave the MAGA-bubble! Even punch-drunk boxers get it now....
He probably doesn't vote anyway, but this is at least a start.

...and wait to support him again like MAGAs always do.

He also says he can't support him in anyway--which probably means in Anyway's Pub in Bloomindale, Illinois.

Sure, we can chalk up his lack of a firm grasp of the English language to ignorance, but that's just being lazy....

Does that mean he’s laying down his support? Or is that “I’m reclining” just a typo?

Sorry, former school’s Dean’s List-er here. I had to ask.
