 Biden awkwardly dons Chiefs helmet during team’s White House visit in echo of Michael Dukakis gaffe

WASHINGTON — President Biden briefly wore a football helmet Friday during a celebration of the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl championship — in a bizarre callback to 1988 Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis’ infamous photo-op of himself wearing a helmet atop a military tank.

“Put it on!” Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce goaded the president after head coach Andy Reid and owner Clark Hunt presented the 81-year-old president with the autographed gift on the White House lawn.

Biden, who had just delivered brief remarks congratulating the team, held the helmet above his head and attempted to do exactly that — initially smacking the headgear on his aviator sunglasses, which he had to remove as the team members roared behind him.

Given how brief his actual college football career was (less than one semester), it's surprising he knew how to put it on. The mask goes on the back, Joe!

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Well you know it's hard to play football with that severe asthma that kept Biden out of Vietnam :whistle:

Micheal Dukakis did  look ridiculous with that tank helmet, but that’s not what killed his candidacy

Michael Dukakis had a very liberal record when he was governor of Massachusetts and ran on a very liberal platform in a country that was prosperous following the 1970s

Dukakis was leading in the polls by 20 points around summer of 1988. GHWB and Atwater pounded his liberal record that fall
