Too much is being read into this. Nobody visits the white house and then says I hate the president. The players clearly had a good time regardless of political stance. It was just another narrative to divide.

Not just that, but the comments were made in the context of the work being done to ensure a 2020 college football season happened.
The comments were taken out of context by people trying to sow division, and a lot of players are dumb so they ate it up.
I don't like Orgeron, but this was a stupid "controversy".
He handled other shite that built off of this extremely poorly though.

Y’all are severely underestimating how successful the media was in turning people against Trump with the one-two punch of COVID and George Floyd.
Those same players who had a blast at the White House in January 2020 wouldn’t have gone at all in July 2020. Orgeron failed to grasp what was going on, and the team quit on him for it. That’s what happened, no matter what we want to think.
Now, we should be grown ups about it and realize we don’t have to hate or disown the players just because they were wrong about something that was important to them.

The players had a good time amongst themselves at the White House. Go look at the team around trump. Hardly anyone was smiling in that photo. African Americans hate Trump. Record numbers came out to vote against him.
