Travis Kelsey explained the White House shenanigans.

Earlier this week, when presidents visited the White House, Kelsey disingenuously approached the microphone on the podium and began saying, “I’ve always wanted to do this…” before quarterback Patrick Mahomes quickly whisked him away.

On the “New Heights Show” podcast with his brother, Eagles center Jason Kelce, Travis explained the purpose of the whole charade.

“Obviously, the President, on the podium, he’s creative, and how he addresses the audience — to my fellow Americans. That’s all I wanted to say, dude,” Travis said.

Jason was surprised, and asked his brother, “That’s all you want to say?”

“That’s it,” Travis said. “I shouldn’t have started with ‘I’ve always wanted to do this.'” “

Jason thought that if his brother had gone this route, he might not have been thwarted so quickly.

“If I had started with ‘My Fellow Americans…’ it would have been a great show,” said Jason. “I don’t think they would have fired you. If someone came up to the podium and said, ‘My fellow Americans’ it would be like, ‘Well, what would this guy say?'”

Travis was aware that he was being saved by the quarterback.
