Jen Psaki defends Gwen Berry, Olympian who turned back on US flag
NY Post ^ | 06/28/2021 | Steve Nelson

White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Monday defended the “peaceful protest” of Olympic hammer thrower Gwen Berry, who on Saturday turned away from the US flag while the national anthem played and covered her head with her T-shirt that read, “Activist Athlete.”

Berry said she was “pissed” to hear “The Star-Spangled Banner” after winning a bronze medal at the US Olympic Track & Field Team Trials.

“I haven’t spoken to the president specifically about this, but I know he’s incredibly proud to be an American and has great respect for the anthem and all that it represents, especially for our men and women serving in uniform all around the world,” Psaki said at her daily press briefing.

You know who was actually oppressed?: Jesse Owens.

That man lived through the real Jim Crow days and yet proudly represented this country in Berlin in 1936--where some real White Supremecists were in charge.

If this young woman isn't proud to represent this country--then she shouldn't. It's time that USOC and the NCAA stop being so freakin' "woke."

Nothing new for modern Dems, Clinton's and Obama's administration was full of freaks as well.

People like Berry will never leave the country they claim they hate, because for them, it’s all about the bitching, and being an attention whore than anything else.

Berry is a sore loser and envious racist. Look at the gold and silver medal winners to the right of her.

How about the gymnast peddling feminine products? There’s a score on the stairsteps to stardom.
