BREAKING: Republicans have a nuclear meltdown after the Philadelphia Eagles reportedly give a “massive no” to an invite from Donald Trump to visit the White House after their resounding Super Bowl victory.
This is just too perfect…
“SAME. GO F YOURSELVES EAGLES. My husband is a fan so I got onboard but F this BS,” said MAGA commentator Megyn Kelly in response to another Trump supporter whining about the snub.
“The Philadelphia Eagles decline to visit the White House. Wish I had known this before the super bowl. I wouldn’t have wasted my time rooting for them. Eagles fan? Your team sucks ” wrote “Toxic Cowboy,” the pro-MAGA account that Kelly was replying to.
The rage was widespread…
“The Philadelphia Eagles have rejected Trump’s invitation to the White House. You know what, I will never support that team again. F*ck the Eagles,” whined MAGA account “Kentucky Girl” to her 22.6 k followers.
According to one of her older posts, she “supported” the Eagles to win the game because she hates Taylor Swift for opposing Trump — and Swift is dating a player on the Chiefs. This is what passes for politics on the right. It’s all banal, brainless culture war issues.
“President Trump should invite the Chiefs to the White House,” right-wing commentator Michael Knowles wrote on X.
Someone should tell Knowles that the Chiefs lost and losing teams don’t get invites. The final score was 40 to 22, a blowout victory for the Eagles.
It’s also worth noting that Trump himself predicted that the Chiefs would win.
Megyn Kelly later followed up with another post writing: “Update: WH denies that Eagles were asked and this news is from a 2/6 The Sun report about Eagles’ alleged plans if asked. Could be (hopefully?) fake news!”
Of course, this White House is full of pathological liars. It would be in perfect keeping with their established behavior to deny sending the invite in an attempt to save face.
Kelly also apparently failed to notice that The Sun article in question was published on February 6th but updated on February 9th — the day of the Super Bowl.
In that article, the publication reported that “recent discussions” between the players and Eagles front office resulted in a “massive no” about accepting an invitation to the Trump White House.
This is an especially embarrassing incident for Trump, who tried for years to purchase an NFL team.
Jeffrey Lurie, the owner of the Eagles, donated to Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama in the past and reportedly “disparaged” Trump in a meeting with other NFL owners.
In other words, the Eagles will almost certainly not be visiting our fascist president.
