Former U.S President Donald Trump participated in the controversial 'Tomahawk chop' at Game 4 of the World Series in Atlanta on Saturday night.
in Atlanta on Saturday night.at Braves games, has been under renewed scrutiny as part of a national discussion about racism and racial imagery in professional sports.
Several advocacy groups and observers have accused the chant of mocking Native American groups and decried it as racist. But many Braves fans, including Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp, have dismissed the criticism, and the stadium has led the fans in doing the chant in both Games 3 and 4 of the series.
Trump has frequently sought to capitalize politically on such controversies as part of an effort to galvanize the White voters who make up much of his political base. Accompanying the former president and first lady Melania Trump was former NFL star Herschel Walker, who is running for a U.S. Senate seat in Georgia. The former president's support of Walker, which came initially over reservations from much of the GOP establishment, has given the former running back a boost ahead of next year's primary. Republicans are hoping to unseat incumbent Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock in the general election.
