'Fox and Friends' Host Tried to Defend Trump's Tweet Congratulating Kansas for Super Bowl Win, It Did Not Go Well
03 February 2020
Fox News
The Kansas City Chiefs overtook the San Francisco 49ers to win the Super Bowl on Sunday night.
Congratulations poured in from around the world, but among the most notable was from President Donald Trump, who addressed the team via his Twitter account.
<p>
There was one glaring error in the well wishes, however.

He praised the Chiefs for representing the "Great State of Kansas" very well.
</p><p>
The problem? the Kansas City Chiefs are based in Kansas City, Missouri, which was founded before the nearby Kansas City, Kansas.
</p><p>
Trump soon deleted the tweet, reposting it with "Kansas" changed to "Missouri," but the ridicule had already begun and screen shots overtook the internet.
</p><p>
On Monday morning, <em><a href="https://secondnexus.com/fox-and-friends-kilmeade-impeachment-support" target="_blank">Fox and Friends</a> </em>host Steve Doocy tried to help cover for Trump.
