Former NFL star Le'Veon Bell hit out at Kamala Harris on social media following the vice president's remarks Friday.
The Democratic nominee announced earlier this week that she will deliver her closing presidential campaign argument in an address next week in the nation's capital.
However, when quizzed on the 'closing argument' address on the Ellipse - just south of the White House and north of the National Mall - Harris drew criticism from Bell.
Harris was asked just hours before her rally in Houston, where Beyonce appeared as a guest speaker, about concerns that a 'closing argument speech' at The Ellipse in Washington, DC, may lean into the alleged threat Trump is to democracy and not the threats to the economy.
'One of the things I love about the American people is we can hold many thoughts at once. And one of the highest priorities for the American people right now is bringing down cost, and that is the priority of my agenda and will be the priority of my work when I'm elected president,' Harris responded.
The response seemingly left Bell baffled as he took to social media with a short and simple reaction, posting: 'HUH???'
The former running back further ripped into Harris as he claimed the vice president dodged questions.
'Kamala Harris NEVER answers a question directly yo,' he added, 'I feel like she always giving the people the “run around.” or am I trippin??'
The NFL-star-turned-boxer went on to launch an attack on Beyonce after the music mogul endorsed Harris.
'we been knew Beyoncé sold her soul, give us some real news please,' the 32-year-old posted in response to a Tweet announcing Beyonce's endorsement.
The hitmaker took to the stage in her native Houston to endorse Harris, making a brief appearance in which she said she was not there as a celebrity, but as a mother.
Bell, who spent nearly a decade as a running back in the NFL before swapping the gridiron for the ring, has been a staunch supporter of Harris's opponent, Donald Trump, in recent weeks.
He recently came under fire over a t-shirt that contained a vile message about Harris that he wore to one of Trump's rallies.
Bell was recently pictured wearing a t-shirt that carried a photo of the Republican nominee pumping his fist alongside an unflattering picture of Harris. 'Trump or the Tramp?' it read.
The former running back - who spent half a decade with the Steelers before spells with the Jets, Chiefs, Ravens and Buccaneers - joined Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania last weekend.
Bell and controversial former NFL star Antonio Brown went on stage in LaTrobe before Trump headed to watch the Steelers' win over the Jets.
