In a Nov. 5 Instagram Stories post, Gronkowski said he and Kostek were not affiliated with Turning Point USA after images and videos circulated showing him near one of the group’s tents.
He said they crossed the street from Goffstown High School to greet fans and had taken photos with people across the political spectrum that morning.
Two days after addressing the Election Day attention, Gronkowski was inducted into the Patriots Hall of Fame on Nov. 7 during a ceremony at Patriot Place outside Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
Fans voted Gronkowski in as the 38th inductee after he played nine seasons and won three Super Bowls with New England.
