A former NFL player referred to President Donald Trump as the “first black president” during a Black History Month round-table in the White House Cabinet Room earlier this week.
That former player was Jack Brewer, who played safety for five years with several teams in the league after playing college ball at Southern Methodist University.
“I’ve got to say this because it’s Black History Month. Man, you’re the first black president,” Brewer said as the event was winding down.
The comment sparked a round of applause from the president’s other supporters who were in attendance, which included Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece Alveda King.
Brewer admitted that he was a Democrat his entire life until he was “changed” and “inspired” by President Trump.

“You’ve changed me. You touched me. And you made my work go to another level. You inspire me. And every time I go into those prisons and I ask my guys how many of them had their sentences reduced and they raise their hands, I know I’m doing God’s work and I thank you for that,” Brewer said.
These days, Brewer is an ordained minister and Fordham University professor.
