LSU QB on Trump attending Bama game: ‘Regardless of your political views, that’s pretty cool’

While the news broke too late on Monday to get University of Alabama head football coach Nick Saban’s reaction, reporters in Louisiana were able to ask LSU quarterback Joe Burrow his thoughts on President Donald Trump planning to attend the Tigers’ game in Tuscaloosa this Saturday.

Burrow had nothing but positive things to say about Trump’s attendance, saying the same should hold true on a bipartisan basis.

“You know, regardless of your political views, that’s pretty cool having the president at the game,” Burrow said.

“It doesn’t matter whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, [the] president at the game is pretty cool,” he continued.

Watch:

Saban will have his second regular weekly press conference on Wednesday.
