Ex-Washington cheerleader blasts fans who booed Trump at Commanders game: ‘Don’t know what’s good for them’
The Washington Commanders fans who booed President Donald Trump at Sunday’s loss to the Detroit Lions do not represent America, according to an ex-Redskins cheerleader.
‘I lived in D.C. for 13 years,’ former cheerleader Jillian Anderson told Fox News. ‘When I was younger, I kept a lot of my political beliefs to myself because the area is aggressively liberal and at the time, I was more concerned about confrontation.’
Anderson, an avowed Trump supporter, then claimed Washingtonians ‘clearly don’t know what’s good for them.’
‘Honestly, I’m not surprised parts of the crowd booed [Trump],’ she said. ‘That’s the same city that has repeatedly elected Mayor Bowser.’
Trump got a mixed reaction at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland on Sunday in what has been a difficult month for the President. Not only did Trump’s candidates lose gubernatorial races in Virginia and New Jersey, as well as New York City’s mayoral election, but he’s faced mounting criticism over rising prices, among other issues.
A former booker for Candace Owens’ erstwhile Daily Wire podcast, Anderson rejected that criticism while speaking with Fox News. What’s more, she was impressed to see Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown imitating Trump’s notorious arm-jerking dance from the campaign trail.

‘I’m from a blue-collar town in the Midwest, and I relate way more to the Detroit Lions player doing the Trump dance,’ said Anderson. ‘The past 10 months of accomplishments while Trump has been in office have been historic – he just keeps winning for America. I think the majority of the country agrees, and that liberal crowd isn’t reflective of that.’
Naturally, Anderson wished she could have been dancing for Trump on Sunday: ‘I personally would’ve loved to have been working when President Trump watched a game.’
Trump appeared at the Commanders game following an ESPN report that he’s hoping the team names its next stadium after him.
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt did not confirm or deny that report, but instead used it to remind the media of Trump’s purported role in the plans.
‘That would surely be a beautiful name, as it was President Trump who made the rebuilding of the new stadium possible,’ Leavitt said.

In December, a month prior to Trump’s inauguration, Congress based a bipartisan bill to transfer the site of the old Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium to the District of Columbia, thereby clearing the final roadblock for the proposed stadium. Outgoing President Joe Biden then signed the bill into law.
Nonetheless, Trump took credit for the agreement between the Commanders and District of Columbia to allow the team to build a new stadium at the site of its former home, RFK Stadium.
‘I don’t think there is a better site anywhere in the world than that site,’ Trump said in April.
‘It sat there for years and people were talking about stadiums and 25 different sites. I said they’re not talking about the best site. That’s the best site there is.’
