Another Miami Dolphins WAG is wading into politics.

Devon Mostert, wife of running back Raheem Mostert, blasted Kamala Harris for sparring with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene — going so far as to call the vice president “textbook trash.”

Mostert fired off a handful of bombastic Instagram Stories after Harris alleged that DeSantis snubbed her call after Helene made landfall in the Sunshine State on Sept. 26.

The Republican denied the diss — and chided the Democratic presidential candidate for politicizing the storm that struck days before Hurricane Milton hit Wednesday night.

In one Instagram Story, Mostert posted a clip of President Biden praising DeSantis’ hurricane response, a contrast to Harris accusing the governor of “playing political games.”

“In case you missed it, Kam Kam went on a media rant yesterday about how selfish and utterly responsible DeSantis is. The math ain’t mathing, sis,” Devon’s post read, according to Outkick.

“They’re sinking their own ship,” she added of Harris’ White House run with her running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz.

“She’s garbage. Textbook trash,” seethed Mostert, who married the Dolphins star in 2017.

She is not the only Dolphin WAG to spark controversy by revealing approval of conservative politics.

Earlier this week, Anna Tagovailoa, wife of injured star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, shared a post on Instagram that praised the actions of former President Donald Trump.

“President Trump is housing 275 Florida linemen free of charge at his Doral Miami resort ahead of Hurricane Milton’s landfall,” the original X post from conservative pundit Benny Johnson read.

The mild political post was enough to turn many fans into keyboard warriors, with some expressing dismay and others lauding her for speaking her mind in the face of social pressure.

EXCLUSIVE: Devon Mostert, wife of NFL running back for the Miami Dolphins’ Raheem Mostert, is standing by her comments earlier this week about Vice President Kamala Harris’ “ridiculous” attack on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis amid Hurricane Milton.

Harris took aim at DeSantis Monday when she told reporters that he was not taking her calls in the days preceding the second storm to smack Southwest Florida in two weeks.

“People are in desperate need of support right now and playing political games at this moment in these crisis situations . . . is just utterly irresponsible, and it is selfish,” Harris said of DeSantis on Monday.

Mostert took to her Instagram at the time to praise DeSantis for doing a “great job” and continues to vocalize her support for the governor’s response to back-to-back natural disasters.

“I really don’t think that Kamala’s comments about him add up,” Mostert told Fox News Digital during an exclusive video interview. “He is focused on taking care of his Floridians, and that’s exactly where his focus should be.”

“All of our resources and time were supposed to be on that,” Mostert went on. “Yet she’s standing on the tarmac complaining that somebody didn’t take her call. To me, that just seems ridiculous.”

DeSantis hit back at Harris earlier this week, saying she has “no role” in the process and that he was working well and directly with FEMA and President Joe Biden.

Biden doubled down on the claims during a press briefing at the White House on Wednesday when Real Clear Politics reporter Philip Wegmann asked him whether DeSantis needed to take Harris’ calls.

“All I can tell you is I’ve talked to Governor DeSantis,” Biden said. “He’s been very gracious. He thanked me for all we’ve done. He knows what we’re doing, and I think that’s important.”

Mostert said Harris’ attack and Biden’s acclaim for DeSantis didn’t add up.

“That’s what really triggered me, especially because they are a part of the same administration, but they were both spewing very different stories,” she said. “That, in my opinion, is selfish and utterly irresponsible.”

Since posting, Mostert told Fox News Digital she’s received continued hateful and racist rhetoric from social media.

“This is gross,” she said. “I truly can’t imagine sliding into someone’s DMs or commenting on somebody’s picture of their family talking about the skin color of my kids.”

Mostert said that, while she’s fluffing off negativity and comments calling her a “white, snowflake, gold-digging wife,” there is a limit to her tolerance of leftist commentators.

“When you talk about my kids, you’re really crossing a line,” she said.

“I know who I am,” Mostert added. “I know my heart. I know my family dynamic. I know my husband. They think that they know me, and they know absolutely nothing.”

Despite the nastiness flooding her Instagram account, Mostert says that many more users are commending her for speaking out on a platform. More directly, the reinforced support from NFL wives and girlfriends with reciprocal views is paramount.

“There are a lot more of us than the media wants to admit,” she said of other NFL spouses. “We all have each other’s backs in this sense.”

Mostert added that, while she can’t speak for all the women, she surrounds herself with a mutual perspective.

“As a mama, I am voting to protect my kids in the future, so I am OK with the backlash,” she said.

“[Kamala Harris] is ill-equipped to be the next President of the United States,” Mostert said.
