It was a recipe for disaster from the start here.
And I think we gotta talk about
the joke that Donald Trump made about the women's team and use it to talk about the accomplishment of the men's team here without setting aside that the women did really great at the Olympics.
These men have been like in a 40-year medal drought when it comes to hockey, 46 years, in fact.
And they broke that.
The men's team gets more viewers.
They have more supporters.
This should be an amazing time to unite as Americans and just celebrate something that was awesome.
And of course, they're going to laugh.
They're in a high.
They're in a moment where they've accomplished something really great and for their country.
And we should be able to set aside a little joke that may or may not have been in poor taste and allow them to celebrate this moment.
lot of the men in that room seem to be celebrating the women's victory as well.
The assumption that it's negative and sexist is, of course, intentional because they want to make everything, as Amala said, a victory for white men somehow a negative, awful thing.
And I'd like to ask just every single person who's offended by this, all the journalists, all the female athletes who are left-wing, do you guys support trans-identifying men in women's sports?
I mean, if you guys can come to the table on that one, then we can have a conversation about whether President Trump is sexist when he calls the team in the locker room to congratulate them.
But otherwise, I just don't want to have a conversation about it.
It's kind of ridiculous.
Not only did he say, I don't like to get political, but he sort of alludes to the idea that really anybody would take up this invitation and go to meet the president, regardless of who the president is.
And I think what we're falling for here is people who just like to go after Trump.
