The video takes footage of Tkachuk and his brother\u2014also an NHL player and member of the Team USA hockey team\u2014speaking at a recent news conference and dubs over it with the words “They booed our national anthem, so I had to come out and teach those maple-syrup-eating fucks a lesson. Canada, we own you, little bro.”<\/p>\n\n
@WhiteHouse<\/a> posted this video on TikTok yesterday with an AI dubbing over Brady Tkachuk\u2019s voice. pic.twitter.com\/JiCXC0ugVl<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Alex Adams (@alexadamsBTP_) February 24, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Those words are particularly problematic for Tkachuk, whose NHL team is the Ottawa Senators, based in Canada. Methinks the fans of his team won\u2019t take kindly to being taunted by someone who plays hockey in their country.<\/p>\n\n
Tkachuk was asked about the video at a news conference on Thursday, in which he denounced it and said it was a fake.<\/p>\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not my voice. It\u2019s something I\u2019d never say,\u201d he said<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s clearly fake, because it\u2019s not my voice, and not my lips moving. I\u2019m not in control of any of those accounts. I know that those words would never come out of my mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t like that video,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n
Tkachuk and members of the Olympic men’s hockey team have been under fire since their overtime victory over Canada on Feb. 22, giving the U.S. its first men\u2019s hockey gold medal since 1980.<\/p>\n\n
\n
United States hockey player Matthew Tkachuk on Feb. 23 in Miami.<\/figcaption>\n<\/figure>\n\n After the win, the team bizarrely celebrated in their locker room with FBI Director Kash Patel, who wasted taxpayer dollars in order to party it up at the Olympic games<\/a>. During the celebration, Patel called Trump, who, in between praising the men’s players, disparaged<\/a> the women’s hockey team. Trump said he would have to also invite the women\u2019s team to the White House, or risk being impeached. Many of the men\u2019s players laughed.<\/p>\n\n
Then the team traveled to Washington, D.C., to be used as Trump\u2019s political prop. The president hosted them at the White House, then trotted them out at his dour and lie-filled State of the Union address. Some of the men\u2019s players sported MAGA hats<\/a> in photos with Trump administration officials, after claiming that their visit wasn\u2019t political. <\/p>\n\n
The Tkachuk brothers, for their part, appear to be Trump supporters. In fact, their conduct has earned them hatred from Canadian hockey fans<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
Tkachuk\u2019s brother, Matthew, went to the White House in January to celebrate his team’s Stanley Cup victory. The celebration came amid outcry to a Trump immigration agent killing an unarmed mother in Minneapolis<\/a>, but Matthew Tkachuk heaped praise on Trump anyway.<\/p>\n\n
“The two Cups was pretty good, but that walk with you might’ve trumped it all,” Matthew said<\/a> to Trump while at the podium. “Nothing beats this. I’m so proud to be an American and so proud to be here with you and everybody else.”<\/p>\n\n
Yet, rather than reward the Tkachuks, Trump\u2019s White House instead caused problems for Brady. <\/p>\n\n
And to that, we offer up the lyrics<\/a> to Al Wilson\u2019s \u201cThe Snake\u201d\u2014one of Trump\u2019s favorites<\/a>, which he\u2019s referred to in campaign rallies.. <\/p>\n\n
“I saved you,” cried that woman\n\u201cAnd you’ve bit me even, why?<\/p>\n\n
And you know your bite is poisonous and now I’m gonna die”<\/p>\n\n
“Oh shut up, silly woman,” said that reptile with a grin<\/p>\n\n
“You knew damn well I was a snake before you brought me in.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n
