Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) posted pictures of himself in a Mexican soccer jersey at a World Cup watch party in Tucson, Arizona.<\/p>\n

Mexico was taking on England this Sunday when Kelly shared his zeal for the sport (and the team) with social media. He also made the interesting decision to wear the jersey of another country\u2019s team, despite Team USA still being in the running.<\/p>\n

Lots of people out in Tucson to watch Mexico take on England. Tucson and La Rosa sure know how to do the World Cup! pic.twitter.com\/XFqZLXC7Xv<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cLots of people out in Tucson to watch Mexico take on England. Tucson and La Rosa sure know how to do the World Cup!\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s understandable to root for a team you like during a game your home team isn\u2019t playing in, and it\u2019s also no secret that Arizona has a large Hispanic population that is likely rooting for Mexico despite living in the United States. But to see a US senator in another country\u2019s jersey was just too much for many X users.<\/p>\n

Wearing the uniform of our opposition. Makes sense for this traitor.<\/p>\n

Why are you rooting for Mexico? I\u2019m sincerely curious. Are you going to be out supporting USA against Belgium?<\/p>\n

Shameful pandering. You\u2019re supposed to be the senator from *Arizona*, not the senator from Jalisco.<\/p>\n

A U.S. senator wearing a Mexico jersey. Disgusting.<\/p>\n

Kelly never misses a chance to root for Mexico. Or try to open up our welfare system to them<\/p>\n

How about celebrating the USA?<\/p>\n

Fuking treasonous a-holes<\/p>\n

Are you for real?
\nMexico is the rival of the United States.
\nSeriously\u2026.Democrats hate America.<\/p>\n

Wrong jersey Just another example of complete pandering for votes. The Mexican fans, it turns out are terrible sportsmen. Throwing foam at the English bus and blowing off fireworks to keep the English team up all night. Not a symbol of the World Cup you should be supporting. I\u2026<\/p>\n

On a related note, England secured a 3-2 victory<\/a> over Mexico, including scoring two goals in 98 seconds in the first half.<\/p>\n
