'They allowed themselves to be co-opted by a clown. And now you're a clown. You look like a clown.
Donald Trump-hating Megan Rapinoe has accused the USA men's hockey team of ruining their achievement of Olympic gold by laughing at the president's joke about the women's success.
Trump addressed the men's team in the locker room on Sunday after their thrilling overtime win against Canada. He invited them to the State of the Union before warning them he'd invite the women's team, too, otherwise he'd be impeached.
His gag was met with laughter by the US players, something they've been roundly criticized for ever since. The US women's team, who also beat Canada to win gold in Italy, rejected their invite from Trump and said they had other plans in place that could be rescheduled at short notice.
But now in a blistering attack, Rapinoe said the US men team ruined their own gold medal win by cozying up to Trump and made themselves look like 'clowns'. She also told them to have more self-respect.
Speaking to wife Sue Bird on their 'A Touch More' podcast, Rapinoe said: 'In what I like to call a classic "ripping defeat from the jaws of victory", the United States men's hockey team, in their utter moment of glory, childhood dreams come true, sensational, ruined it for themselves.

STFU dyke !
This kooky kill joy crew cut gal has a few burrs under her saddle.
Odd that most “gay” people seen to live a miserable existance.
The frame from the beginning has always been the 2026 men's team versus the 1980 "Miracle On Ice" men's team.

To that woman: Take a look at MS Now, CNN, The View and the Dems in Congress and governor’s mansions if you want to see clowns.
Very true. Used to have an excuse because of being shunned, legally in trouble for their lifestyles and feeling out of place.
Now with the list entirely gone, many are still seeing psychiatrists.
They picked Flava Fave over Donald Trump.
Only Communists are supposed to be Gold Medal winners. Hockey players are not soccer pansies.
They have the world by the a$$ and they still aren’t happy.
I love that the women turned down the president. It let the men take all the kudos for themselves. Bravo women, BRAVO.
Before this article, I did not know anything about “Megan.” Or cared.
Still don’t know, or care.
Life is way too short.
I fully disagree with “Moody-Megan” about that winning Hockey Team, but I do agree with her on just one issue.
FBI Director Kash Patel did not belong there, drinking beers and hollerin with the group in the Locker Room.
To me, that looked very unprofessional, and I would have thought either Trump or Chief of Staff Susie Wiles would have tried to educate Patel on how that image would come across to the general public.
I don’t need to know what Kash does for fun. I don’t want the distraction of ‘lite news’ about someone with such a powerful and essential position.
I don’t expect or even want my FBI Chief to act like ‘everyman’, because he isn’t.
Is that the purple haired dude?
Uhhhhhhh
.....I’m sorry.....who?
Another irrelevant lesbian suffering from terminal TDS.
Angry lesbian alert
Her “wife” is going to get a beating tonight....
The dyke doth project too much, methinks.
