Trump deletes tweet congratulating Chiefs of the "Great State of Kansas" for Super Bowl win

President Trump quickly congratulated the Kansas City Chiefs for representing the "Great State of Kansas ... so very well" on Sunday night for beating the San Francisco 49ers to win the Super Bowl LIV.

But before he could delete his tweet and repost, many critics noted that the Chiefs play in Missouri, including current and former Democratic politicians in the state and conservative lawyer George Conway, husband of counselor to President Trump, Kellyanne Conway.

Donald Trump, as President of the United States, didn’t know that the Kansas City Chiefs were from Missouri and actually thought they were from “the Great State of Kansas.” That means he doesn’t really watch football and just pretends to care about the Super Bowl. pic.twitter.com/ATunoqVhYM
