Martellus Bennett said before the Super Bowl that he would pass on visiting President Donald Trump’s White House and he plans to stick to it.
The Patriots ensured they would be making a trip to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. after winning their fifth championship in overtime Sunday against the Falcons.
"I’m not going to go," the ex-Bears tight end told reporters after the game. "I’m going to elaborate later on in life."
“It is what it is. People know how I feel about it,” Bennett said, according to the Dallas Morning-News. “Just follow me on Twitter.”
Checking in on his Twitter Monday morning, Bennett hadn’t added any insight. But a look at his past social media posts indicate how the vocal Hillary Clinton supporter feels about Trump.
In December, he tweeted, "So Kanye (West) didn’t take the time to vote. And now he holding on to Trump’s coattail like Peter Pettigrew to Lord Voldemort. Kanye Pettigrew."
And on election night he posted onInstagram: "If you decide to move to outer space after tonight’s election, I may or may not have room on my spaceship so state your case in my comments. #theimaginationagency #FieldTripWithMarty #IWannaGo #DamnBro #imwithher."
