In 2024, Lynch launched a podcast titled Politickin’ alongside California Governor Gavin Newsom and agent Doug Hendrickson. While the show claims to be non-partisan, the partnership with a prominent Democratic leader and frequent MAGA critic signals a clear political alignment.
Partnering with one of the most prominent anti-MAGA political figures in the country for a long-form media project is a significant indicator of political comfort and association with the Democratic establishment.
Lynch launched his own cannabis brand, Dope Free, and serves as an ambassador for the Last Prisoner Project, which focuses on decarceration and social equity for those convicted of cannabis-related crimes—policies generally opposed by the 'tough on crime' MAGA platform.
Advocacy for criminal justice reform and cannabis legalization is a policy position that typically aligns with progressive/liberal platforms and opposes traditional MAGA stances on law enforcement.
During a 2019 appearance on HBO's Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, Lynch used profanity to describe Donald Trump and criticized the administration's impact on urban communities, specifically mentioning gentrification in Oakland.
Direct verbal criticism of the MAGA movement's leader in a major media interview provides strong evidence of opposition.
After Donald Trump tweeted that Lynch should be suspended for sitting during the U.S. anthem but standing for the Mexican anthem in 2017, Lynch responded by highlighting his community work and dismissing the President's criticism as a distraction from real issues.
Lynch was a direct target of Trump's 'culture war' rhetoric. His refusal to back down and his subsequent doubling down on his stance confirms a confrontational relationship with the MAGA movement.
In October 2017, Marshawn Lynch arrived at an Oakland Raiders game against the Denver Broncos wearing a t-shirt that read 'Everybody vs. Trump'. This action was widely interpreted as a direct protest against the then-President's rhetoric regarding NFL players kneeling during the national anthem.
Notes: The shirt was produced by a brand called Dope Era, owned by Lynch's friend Mistah F.A.B.
This is a high-visibility, unambiguous symbolic statement directed specifically at Donald Trump. The timing coincided with peak tensions between Trump and the NFL over social justice protests.
Lynch consistently sat during the national anthem during the 2017 NFL season. He stated his actions were in support of Colin Kaepernick and against racial injustice, positions that were frequently targeted and criticized by Donald Trump and the MAGA movement.
While anthem protests are a broader social issue, they became a central cultural flashpoint for the MAGA movement. Lynch's participation places him in direct opposition to the MAGA 'patriotic' narrative.
