At least two guests at President Donald Trump’s event on Tuesday to highlight why Americans stand for the national anthem, which replaced the Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl LII ceremony, opted to take a knee as the “Star Spangled Banner” rang out across the South Lawn of the White House. A second man was also captured kneeling in a photo posted to Twitter by a CNN White House producer. “Stop hiding behind the armed services and the National Anthem,' the person shouted to the reception boos, according to Daily Mail. “Let's hear it for the Eagles.”The president withdrew his invitation to the Super Bowl LII champions after only about 10 players planned on attending the White House ceremony. White House Press Secretary accused the team of a “political stunt” just minutes before Tuesday’s alternative event began, claiming the players had chosen to “abandon their fans.”
