Brady Tkachuk dislikes 'clearly faked' White House video slamming Canada

USA gold medal winner Brady Tkachuk addressed a TikTok video in which his voice was dubbed, plus the team's call with President Donald Trump.

Ottawa Senators captain and USA gold medal winner Brady Tkachuk says a White House TikTok video featuring him and a dubbed voice that insults Canadians is "clearly fake."

The video, released after the gold medal victory, says it uses artificial intelligence. Tkachuk's comments after a fight-filled win against Canada at last year's 4 Nations Face-Off are dubbed with him talking about giving those "maple syrup eating (expletives) a lesson." The video then shifts to highlights of the USA's victory on Sunday.

"It's clearly fake because it's not my voice and not my lips moving," Tkachuk said during a media availability on Feb. 26. "I'm not in control of any of those accounts. I know that those words would never come out of my mouth. I can't do anything about it."

Asked if he liked the video, he said, "It's not my voice. It's not what I was saying. I would never say that. It's not who I am. So I guess I don't like that video."

Tkachuk also addressed the postgame call with President Donald Trump in which the team was invited to the State of the Union address and White House. The president said he'd "have to bring the women's team" and joked that he probably would be impeached if he didn't. The USA players laughed at the comments.
