The wife of NFL player Raheem Mostert says she and her kids have been on the receiving end of racist vitriol online after calling Kamala Harris “textbook trash” over her Hurricane Helene spat with the Florida governor, according to a report.
Mostert — who has been married to the Miami Dolphins star running back since 2017 — said she could overlook comments calling her a “white snowflake, gold-digging wife,” but “when you talk about my kids, you’re really crossing a line,” Fox News reported.
The comments came after she waded into Harris’ tiff with Gov. Ron DeSantis over the Democratic presidential nominee’s claims that the Florida governor ignored her call after the Sept. 26 storm.

“This is gross,” Mostert told the outlet. “I truly can’t imagine sliding into someone’s DMs or commenting on somebody’s picture of their family talking about the skin color of my kids.”
“I know who I am,” she said. “I know my heart. I know my family dynamic. I know my husband. They think that they know me, and they know absolutely nothing.”
The mother-of-three sounded off against Harris in a series of Instagram stories, including one that read: “She’s garbage. Textbook trash.”
The Veep accused DeSantis Monday of “playing political games” and called his alleged actions “utterly irresponsible” and “selfish.”

“I didn’t know she called me,” DeSantis responded during a press conference over Milton, the second hurricane to hit the Sunshine State in just two weeks.
The gov also said Harris had “no role” in the hurricane response and said he was handling things with FEMA and President Biden.
The day after Harris ripped DeSantis, Biden seemingly undermined his potential successor when he said: “The governor of Florida has been cooperative.”

Mostert stood by her harsh criticism of Harris and continued to support DeSantis in her interview with Fox News.
“I really don’t think that Kamala’s comments about him add up,” Mostert told the outlet. “He is focused on taking care of his Floridians, and that’s exactly where his focus should be.”

“All of our resources and time were supposed to be on that,” Mostert continued. “Yet she’s standing on the tarmac complaining that somebody didn’t take her call. To me, that just seems ridiculous.”
Despite the online trolling, Mostert said the majority of comments supported her stance and she’s also been commended by fellow NFL wives and girlfriends.
“We all have each other’s backs,” she said.

Mostert said it’s more important to vote for someone who she believes will protect her kids’ futures “so I am OK with the backlash.”
And as for Harris, she is “ill-equipped to be the next president of the United States,” she claimed.
