USA Cycling has provided a statement to Fox News Digital addressing social media posts by transgender athlete Chelsea Wolfe, an alternate in BMX for the U.S. at the Tokyo Olympics, celebrating Charlie Kirk's assassination this week.

"The views of current and former national team athletes are their own and do not reflect those of USA Cycling. Chelsea Wolfe has not been a member of the USA Cycling National Team or a member of USA Cycling since 2023," the statement read.

Wolfe's social media statements, made via Instagram story, included a reshare of news of Kirk's assassination with an animated caption that read "We did it!" and a selfie with a caption that suggested Kirk was a "Nazi."

"Being a Nazi is completely optional btw. He didn't have to do all that, but he did and now he's dead. Don't live your life in a way that the world is better following your death," Wolfe wrote.

Wolfe has since been the subject of backlash on social media. Women's tennis legend and known liberal Martina Navratilova and conservative influencer Riley Gaines have been among those to criticize Wolfe publicly.

Which team does a transgender alternate play for? Does he suck that bad?

Wolfe previously said in a March 2020 Facebook post that the athlete hoped to "burn the American flag" at the Tokyo Olympics. "My goal is to win the Olympics so I can burn a U.S. flag on the podium. This is what they focus on during a pandemic. Hurting trans children," Wolfe wrote on Facebook on March 25, 2020.

Both - also have a two foot long crescent wrench I can use as anesthetic.

Even Brits are aghast at such dentistry. So many places to channel its anger.

[bray]

Then it is fine to assassinate him if it would make the world a better place? Is that what he is saying?
