From ‘Trump is cool’ to cutting ties: US boxer Ryan Garcia quits MAGA camp over Epstein links

American boxer Ryan Garcia, once a vocal supporter of US President Donald Trump, has publicly withdrawn his endorsement, citing moral concerns linked to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Garcia, who had earlier praised Trump and aligned himself with the MAGA movement, said he could no longer support anyone connected, directly or indirectly, to alleged abuse involving children.

In a series of posts on X, Garcia announced what he called a “public declaration” of withdrawing his past support for Trump. “Anyone that was involved in anything to do with that island and what they were doing, I just can’t support in any way,” he wrote, adding, “Children need to be protected… Justice for all.”
