Biden breaks no-helmet rule
President Joe Biden apparently didn’t learn much from Mike Dukakis.
Biden donned a Kansas City Chiefs football helmet yesterday in a comical attempt to show his football prowess.
He did it while welcoming the Chiefs to the White House, lauding the back-to-back Super Bowl champion team for its sportsmanship on and off the field and breaking an unofficial political rule about headwear. He tried on a Chiefs helmet the team gave him as a gift.
Biden recognized the Chiefs after their come-from-behind overtime win over the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl in Las Vegas in February. It’s a longstanding tradition for championship sports teams, both professional and collegiate, to be invited to the White House.
Kicker Harrison Butker, who made headlines by assailing some of Biden’s policies during a commencement speech earlier this month, accompanied his teammates to the White House. Taylor Swift was not in attendance since she is on tour in Europe.
