Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre slammed President Joe Biden on Wednesday for calling supporters of former President Donald Trump “garbage.”
Favre, a three time NFL MVP and Super Bowl winner, made the comments during a rally in Green Bay in support of Trump. As Favre opened up his remarks, cheers of “Go Pack Go” echoed throughout the Resch Center where the rally was being held.
“I can tell you one thing, I knew I would come back to Green Bay at various times, but I never thought I would come back in this setting,” Favre said. “There’s never been a more important time in our lives than right now in this election.”
”Much like the Packer organization, Donald Trump and his organization is a winner. The United States of America won with his leadership,” Favre added.
The former quarterback then turned to address Biden’s comments on Tuesday where he referred to Trump supporters as “garbage.”
“I can assure you we’re not garbage,” Favre said. “How dare he say that. Looking out, I see police officers, teachers, nurses, grandparents, students. I see everyday Americans that make this country great.”
During his remarks, Favre pointed to high inflation, the fentanyl crisis, and foreign policy as reasons to back Trump.
“The stakes are incredibly high,” he said. “Families across Wisconsin are struggling to make ends meet. People’s salaries haven’t kept up with inflation. It’s getting harder for younger people to buy their first home. People are losing hope in the American dream.”

“And it’s not just about money. People are losing their lives,” he added. “Last year, 50 people here in Brown County died of a fentanyl overdose. That’s 50 too many. And our kids face the prospect of World War III.”
Favre said that it would be “insane” to give Vice President Kamala Harris four more years in the White House, saying that “its time to bench Kamala and put in the star quarterback Donald Trump.”
“I have lived the American dream,” he said. “But I want to make sure the future generations get to as well. And that would be my grandson Parker and his two brothers. So remember this: let’s make America great again.”
Favre spent one season with the Atlanta Falcons, 16 seasons with the Packers, one season with the New York Jets, and two with the Minnesota Vikings. He was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame in 2016. He played a record 299 consecutive games and threw for 508 touchdowns and 71,838 yards in his career.
Both Trump and Harris have spent significant time in Wisconsin as it is again projected to be close.
