During the halftime ceremony of the Washington Commanders‘ game against the Detroit Lions this past weekend, President Trump participated in the NFL‘s Salute to Service event.

The Commander-in-Chief read the names of new military enlistees over the stadium’s public address system alongside Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Trump made history as the first sitting U.S. president to attend a regular-season NFL game in nearly 50 years. He was honoring the military as Veterans’ Day approached.

What should have been a solemn occasion became a joke thanks to the Commanders’ fans in attendance. The president’s appearance was met with a smattering of boos from the home crowd at FedExField. Some took pictures of themselves flipping off Trump.

Way to honor military service members, Washington.

Redskins cheerleader fires back at fans

This display was rather classless from a clearly bitter fanbase whose team is fumbling its way through yet another terrible season.

Former Washington Redskins cheerleader Jillian Anderson, who performed from 2012 to 2014, defended Trump against the boos. She attributed the reaction to the “aggressively liberal” D.C. crowd and contrasted it with her own Midwest roots.

And she took a swipe at Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser in the process.

“I lived in D.C. for 13 years. 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 told Fox News Digital.

“Honestly, I’m not surprised parts of the crowd booed him. That’s the same city that has repeatedly elected Mayor Bowser, they clearly don’t know what’s good for them.”

She’s right. This is the same corrupt city throwing a veritable temper tantrum because the President is desperately trying to clean up crime.

She’s all in on Trump

The former Redskins cheerleader says she relates more to the Lions players who performed the Trump dance than the bitter Commanders fans.

During the first quarter of the game, Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught a third-and-seven pass for a touchdown, giving the Lions a 14-3 lead en route to a convincing 44-22 drubbing of Washington.

St. Brown and teammate Jameson Williams celebrated by performing the “Trump Dance” while pointing toward the president’s skybox.

“I’m from a blue-collar town in the Midwest, and I relate way more to the Detroit Lions player doing the Trump dance. The past 10 months of accomplishments while Trump has been in office have been historic – he just keeps winning for America,” said Anderson. “I think the majority of the country agrees, and that liberal crowd isn’t reflective of that.”

Anderson went on to say that she could only wish to have been a cheerleader during this Trump administration, as he paid a visit to her former team.

“I personally would’ve loved to have been working when President Trump watched a game. I guarantee Trump’s presence added a whole new level of energy to FedEx Field,” she said.

“Watching it on TV was exciting, but I can’t imagine how incredible it must’ve been to be on the field playing for him, dancing on the sidelines, or just sitting in the stands, soaking it all in.”
