"We just want his a** out of the White House" - Zack Cozart says no 'ill will' toward COVID-stricken Joe Biden as he backs Trump in presidential race

Former Los Angeles Angels and Cincinnati Reds shortstop Zack Cozart publicly supported Donald Trump in his re-election campaign. He was vocal on X (formerly Twitter) calling for President Joe Biden's removal from office with some sharp words that might not be well received by Democrats.

Zack Cozart had a nine-year career in the MLB. He played for seven seasons in Cincinnati, where he had an impressive record. He batted at .254 with 703 hits including 82 home runs and 285 RBIs. He had a solid 2016 season that saw his maiden All-Star cap. He was traded to the Angels and after two seasons, he was released by the organization.

His social media account suggests that in his post-playing days, Cozart has been a family man and has been critical of the Reds and Angels' decisions at times. But his political side seems to be getting the limelight after he actively promoted Trump on his Instagram with a cap that had the former President's name etched on it.

Recently, Zack Cozart replied to a post by former swimmer Riley Gaines on X (formerly Twitter). He supported Biden's ousting from the White House. Taking a dig at the president's supporters, he stated that the Republicans do not wish for his 'ill health'. This comes after President Joe Biden announced that he had tested positive for COVID-19.

The dig seemed to aim at Democrat supporters allegedly wanting harm done to Trump after he was shot at by a gunman during a rally in Butter, Pennsylvania.

"We don't want ill health on sleepy Joe we just want his a** out of the White House," Cozart said.

Zack Cozart shows support for Donald Trump with awkward picture

A few hours ago, Zack Cozart also posted a picture on his X, declaring his allegiance to the Republican Party. While playing golf, the 38-year-old posted a picture of himself with the word 'Trump' etched on the cap with the letters printed upside down.

It is expected that Cozart will become even more vocal on his social media accounts now that Donald Trump has been elected as the formal presidential nominee at the Republican National Convention.
