MAGA Hat Helps Ex-NFL Running Back Le'Veon Bell Get Out Of A Traffic Violation

Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell came out as a full-fledged MAGA supporter recently when he attended a Donald Trump rally in Pennsylvania.

And there are benefits to the MAGA movement, according to movement founder Trump:

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA - AUGUST 24: Le'Veon Bell attends as DJ Drama and Glen Infante kick off Hip-Hop Sounds & Stories presented by NTWRK, Audible and Amazon Music at NTWRK LA on August 24, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images for NTWRK, Amazon Music & Audible)

Stuff made in the USA instead of overseas, particularly China.

A wall getting finished.

People that entered the country illegally get deported.

Lower retail prices on food and gas.

And, perhaps most importantly, being like-minded with people who agree that America needs to be great again. That last part has tangential benefits.

It apparently makes people feel like some sort of friend.

And Bell, who last played in 2021, got a dose of that Thursday when he was driving around.

According to Bell, he was pulled over by a policeman. Where is unknown.

And, well, Bell knew he was popped because he admitted since he was traveling 53 MPH in a 45 MPH zone.

But, Bell was armed. With a secret weapon.

A red MAGA hat.

And the police officer apparently noticed the hat in Bell's vehicle as the former running back was gathering his necessary documentation – you know, insurance, license. 

So Bell gave the following account of the exchange with the officer:

Cop: "I love your hat, man."

(Of course, he's a cop. Practically every police union in the country has endorsed Trump because he doesn't want to defend them).

Bell: "Of course, Make America Great Again, sir."
