Brady the quarterback is not on Twitter, but that didn't stop many from mistakenly tweeting Brady the Brit, whose Twitter handle is @tbrady14.
@tbrady14 Gees, Tom. You're New England! Couldn't you have kept your shameful support for Trump to yourself? Stay out of politics!!!

"I have NOT voted for Trump," he tweeted.
Back in Foxboro, the Tom Brady New Englanders know said he's just going to stick to football instead of politics.
"I talked to my wife and she said I can't talk about politics anymore," Brady said of his wife, Gisele Bundchen. "I think that's a good decision for our family."
