Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney Invites Eagles to City Hall After White House Visit Was Canceled

On Monday, the Philadelphia Eagles were uninvited from the White House by Donald Trump in response to so many members of the team planning on skipping the visit.

In a statement about his decision to revoke the invite, Trump mentioned the fans who planned to attend the event and said they "deserve better" than the "smaller delegation" the Eagles planned on sending.

Philadelphia mayor Jim Kenney responded to Trump's decision by inviting the Eagles to City Hall and questioning the president's patriotism.

The Eagles call the birthplace of democracy home, so it's no surprise that this team embodies everything that makes our country and our city great.
