Travis Kelce defended for ‘liking’ pro-Trump post on Instagram

NFL star and Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, Travis Kelce has received concerned backlash after he appeared to like a post on Instagram that featured images of Donald Trump but he has now been defended by one of the president’s former aides.

Over the weekend, Swifties had noticed that the Kansas City Chiefs player had liked a post by former ESPN host Sage Steele from a UFC event where she was pictured shaking hands with Donald Trump.

It is not known why Kelce liked the post but The View host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who worked in the White House during the Trump administration, believes that much is being made over nothing.

They really want to find celebrities who are with them and I hate to break the news to them… he’s advocated for stricter gun control, he was literally the face of the Covid vaccine, and he kneeled during the national anthem, like I don’t think you just sniffed him out as a secret Trump supporter.”

She continued: “But I also am someone who lives in fear of accidentally liking… I scroll and I’ve liked things and I’m like, “No go back and unlike it.'”

Whoopi Goldberg meanwhile was indifferent to the situation, saying: “Some are claiming he’s outed himself as MAGA, and my understanding was he was responding to his friend’s post so I’m not sure what’s going on….”

However, Sunny Hostin had a theory: “I think this was an accidental like and everybody’s been up late at night scrolling…. but I think he may have been scrolling.
