Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers has joined the growing list of prominent athletes who showed their support for Donald Trump after the former president was the target of an assassination attempt.
Trump was injured after being shot at while speaking at a rally in Butler, Pa. on Saturday night. The Republican presidential nominee was left bleeding from the ear due to the shooting. Before he was rushed off the stage by Secret Service agents, Trump stopped to raise his fist in the air and tell those in attendance at the rally to “fight!” as blood ran down the side of his face.
A number of powerful images were captured amid the hectic scene. Ewers shared one of them on his Instagram story. The Longhorns quarterback also shared a popular photoshop that went viral depicting Trump as rapper 50 Cent.
