https://www.boston.com/sports/new-england-patriots/2019/02/01/robert-kraft-donald-trump-rupert-murdoch-fox-news-videoKraft called the Fox News founder "one of the most outstanding human beings on the planet."
However, Fox host Brian Kilmeade apparently wanted to hear more about Trump, asking Kraft if he had recently spoken with or gotten any advice from the president.
I have a lot of people who give me advice, and hes been very supportive and I know hes working very hard to serve the best interests of the country, the Brookline native responded.
Kraft has described Trump as a very close friend with whom hes had a relationship with for more than two decades. In 2016, the Patriots owner told The Boston Globe that Trump went above and beyond to assist me through the most difficult time in my life following the death of his wife, Myra, in 2011. He even gave Trump a Super Bowl LI ring.

I cannot root for a team owned by someone who praises Trump and Rupert Murdoch.
