Jalen Hurts Goes Viral With Awkward Response To Whether He’ll Go To The White House

Although team owner Jeffrey Lurie has said that being “celebrated at the White House” is a “time-honored tradition,” Hurts was more reticent when Time magazine asked him Thursday night whether he’d be in attendance to see President Donald Trump.

As the clip below from the magazine’s Time 100 Gala shows, Hurts is a man of few words on the topic, instead just saying, “Ummmmm,” while looking around nervously, before ending the exchange entirely.

Although Hurts obviously appeared uncomfortable with the question, it may be not out of political animus for Trump, but more from a desire to stay neutral in a polarized era.
