Quarterback tweak: Tom Brady makes Trump election joke at White House ceremony

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers celebrated their Super Bowl win at the White House on Tuesday with President Joe Biden — and their star quarterback came out firing jokes about election denialists.

Tom Brady, who last appeared for a White House Super Bowl event during George W. Bush’s presidency in 2005, noted to the crowd assembled on the White House lawn that, at one point, his team was 7-5 and “not a lot people, you know, think that we could have won. In fact, I think about 40 percent of the people still don’t think we won.”

“I understand that,” Biden, who was standing off to the side, quipped.

Brady also joked that after he forgot how many downs there were earlier in the season, some people referred to him as “Sleepy Tom” — a reference to former President Donald Trump’s nickname for Biden.

“Why would they do that to me?” Brady asked.

“I don’t know,” Biden said.
