Giants Players Dismiss Locker Room Rift Rumors After QB Introduces Trump at Rally New York Giants linebacker Abdul Carter and quarterback Jaxson Dart have publicly refuted rumors of internal division within the team following Dart’s controversial appearance at a political event. The incident unfolded after Dart, the Giants’ second-year starter, introduced former President Donald Trump at a pep rally for New York Rep. Mike Lawler in Suffern, New York, on Friday. The event, held at Rockland Community College, was part of Lawler’s campaign to secure reelection in a suburban area northwest of New York City. Dart’s introduction of Trump, which included a chant of “Go Big Blue” with the crowd, sparked immediate backlash from some teammates. Carter, a second-year outside linebacker, initially mocked the situation on social media, writing, “Thought this s--- was AI, what we doing man,” before later clarifying, “Me and JD6 are good! We spoke earlier as Men,” in response to ongoing speculation about locker room tensions. Carter’s comments were met with mixed reactions, with some fans and analysts questioning the validity of the rumors. The controversy extended beyond Carter. Wide receiver Darius Slayton addressed a false claim that Dart had made a racist comment in the past, while offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor dismissed reports suggesting Dart’s political views were causing division. Eluemunor tweeted, “Locker Room is fine. Focus on New England,” a reference to the team’s upcoming season opener against the New England Patriots. The Giants’ offseason program, which had just concluded its first three voluntary organized team activities (OTAs), is currently in Phase 3 of its preparation.#new_york_giants #jaxson_dart #abud_carter #mike_lawler #rockland_community_college
