Ex-MLB Star Johnny Damon Claims DUI Arrest Was Due to His Trump Support

Body-cam footage shows former Major League Baseball player Johnny Damon claiming that he was targeted by police in February for suspicion of DUI as a result of his support for former president Donald Trump.

The footage, which was released Tuesday, depicts Damon and his wife, Michelle Mangan-Damon, pointing out their "Blue Lives Matter" slogan on their license plate, with Damon saying, "Guys, we are all for cops."

Damon has been a longtime supporter of Trump, and appeared at an Orlando rally with him before Election Day in 2016, according to The Washington Post.
