‘Pawn Stars’ Rick Harrison dishes on why Donald Trump once ‘apologized’ to him, mulls political future

Rick Harrison shared an intimate memory he has with President Donald Trump and implied that there may be a future in politics for the “Pawn Stars” personality.

During an interview with Graham Bensinger, Harrison once revealed that he actually received an apology from Trump following a miscommunication with the Secret Service that prevented him from attending an event with his son.

Watch:

“So this is in 2018, he’s having a rally here in town for … someone running for Congress and Senate. And they wanted me to announce him at the rally. So I show up with my son Jake and my daughter Serena, White House staff goes, ‘Hey Rick, how’s it going? Come on, come this way.’ We go to backstage and Secret Service goes, ‘He’s not on the list,’” Harrison recounted. “And they’re going like, ‘But it’s Rick Harrison.’ And his friend’s like, ‘Not on the list. Doesn’t matter.’ And I’m literally trying to call a U.S. senator, some other people, some congressman. I can’t get a hold of anybody.”

“Secret Service throws me into the public and I am getting mobbed. And we had to leave. We could not stay there. And I’m f**kingng pissed,” he continued. “So I get a block from the house and then Senator Heller’s number pops up in my truck, and I’m like, Senator Heller knows I have no filter. So the first words out of his mouth, he’s like, ‘Rick, before you say a word, the President of the United States would like to talk to you.’”

“And the first words out of Trump’s mouth were, ‘Rick, I am really sorry. This is all my fault, because my White House staff, they work for me. They screwed up. That makes it my fault. I’m sorry. They should have informed the Secret Service. So, I’m sorry, will you please come back down to the convention center? We’ll try and make this happen.’ And you’re not going to tell the president of the United States ‘no,’ right?” Harrison said.

While the star has long denied having political aspirations of his own, it would appear that this may no longer be the case.

“Give it a few years. I might,” he coyly replied when asked about a potential run for governor. “I know I can’t completely change the world, but I would like to leave it in a better place. Just changed a little bit, to make it a little bit better. I do a lot of work with charity work and stuff like that. I’m proud of that. So maybe. I think I would do a good job at it.”
