Travis Kelce shares warning Secret Service gave him during White House visit: ‘They weren’t too happy with me’
Travis Kelce said the Secret Service said they were ‘authorized’ to tase him
Travis Kelce finally got his chance at the president’s podium last week when the Kansas City Chiefs visited the White House on Friday, but the veteran tight end revealed on Wednesday that the Secret Service had issued him a stern warning before the day’s events.
Speaking with brother and former Philadelphia Eagles center, Jason Kelce, on the “New Heights” podcast, Travis revealed that after last year’s incident, which included his showing up to the White House without a valid form of identification, members of the Secret Service weren’t particularly fond of him.
“The Secret Service that’s all over the White House, they weren’t too happy with me. They weren’t too happy with me on my second time visiting,” he recalled with a laugh.
“I caught s— for that… I made sure because of what happened last year and how embarrassed I was for going to the White House with an expired ID, I made sure that I brought my passport this time.”
Despite showing up prepared for his champion’s visit, Travis explained that he had to have a word with the Secret Service to avoid any similar stunts to last year.
