Fox & Friends defends Trump for congratulating the wrong state on winning the Super Bowl
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
After President Trump briefly congratulated the wrong state on winning the Super Bowl, Fox & Friends is quickly providing some defense.
Trump in a tweet on Sunday night congratulated the "great state of Kansas" after the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl win, despite the fact that the team is actually based in Missouri. After 11 minutes of Twitter dunking, Trump issued a follow-up tweet congratulating Missouri, instead.
But the hosts of Fox & Friends on Monday decided the original tweet was completely fine, actually. "Kansas City is in Kansas, and it is also in Missouri," Steve Doocy said, insisting the situation is like the fact that "people call them the New York Giants, but they're in New Jersey."
Even though Trump himself seemed to admit his mistake by deleting and re-posting the tweet, Matt Schlapp, chair of the American Conservative Union, took the defense further, blasting the "East coast establishment" for not realizing that "Kansas City, Kansas is in Kansas." It seems we have 2020's first map-related Trump controversy on our hands.

Should an adult, educated, reasonably well informed person know that the largest portion of the KC metro area is in Missouri ?
I would say yes, but in Trumpland there are always excuses.
I looked on wikipedia to see what it has to say on the topic of the Kansas City Chiefs.
The article on Kansas City Missouri has a paragraph on the fact that the Chiefs are located there.
The article on Kansas City, Kansas does not mention the Chiefs at all.
It would have been better to not mention a state at all, but if he was going to and left out Missouri, he is simply wrong.
Well yes, but Trump is none of those things.
Matt Schlap is an idiot, by the way.
Crooked donnie the MORON-in-chief.
Really sad that this is being defended.
No biggie. Why waste time on this.
Well, you could say that about 80% of the articles on this forum, and every forum.
Good point.
