Travis Kelce said the Secret Service really warned him about tasing him when the Chiefs visited the White House last week.
As a three-time Super Bowl champion, Travis Kelce has become a frequent White House guest. That doesn't mean he can make himself at home, though.As one of the team's star players, Kelce had an opportunity to step up to the podium. However, it came with a warning.
"When I walked in, I had about four or five Secret Service members come up to me and tell me, 'You know if you go up to that podium, we're authorized to tase you,'" Kelce told his brother, Jason Kelce, on Wednesday's episode of the"That's all that was going through my head. I had no idea President Biden was going to ask me to come up and let me have my moment. And he walks right up, and the first thing he said was give me the floor.
Kelce got up to the mic and did his best presidential impression, while also letting guests know what was top of his mind."My fellow Americans, it’s nice to see you all yet again," Kelce said."Uh, I’m not going to lie, President Biden, they told me if I came up here I’d get tased, so I’m going to go back to my spot.""If the president invites you up, you’re not going to get tased," Jason Kelce said.
"It's an always an honor to go to the White House," he said on"New Heights.""Any time that I get a chance to get recognized by the president of the United States and get to go with my teammates and a group of men and women that I had success with to the point where we get to get acknowledgement, I'm doing it every single time.
"No matter who's up there at the helm, no matter what's going on in this world, I think it's just such a cool opportunity."
