Team USA figure skater Adam Rippon reportedly turned down an offer to take part in a conversation with Vice President Mike Pence just hours after the openly gay athlete slammed Pence's anti-LGBT policies and President Trump's comments about African countries.
Rippon had lambasted the vice president's highly visible role at the upcoming Winter Olympic Games in an interview with USA Today published last month. Pence has been considered an opponent of the LGBT community after he signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act as governor of Indiana.
When asked about Pence's role in leading the U.S. delegation to the opening ceremonies, Rippon responded to the outlet, "You mean Mike Pence, the same Mike Pence that funded gay conversion therapy? I'm not buying it."
"I don't think he has a real concept of reality," Rippon told the newspaper. "To stand by some of the things that Donald Trump has said and for Mike Pence to say he's a devout Christian man is completely contradictory. If he's OK with what's being said about people and Americans and foreigners and about different countries that are being called 'sh*tholes,' I think he should really go to church."
Rippon's initial criticism of Pence drew a sharp rebuke from his press secretary, Alyssa Farah, who called some of his statements "totally false" and that they had "no basis in fact."

Welll..... he didn’t have to get all butt hurt about it.
Me too, but that's not Mike Pence.
as someone who skates, not all the guys are gay, LOL! but, this guy, instead of representing his country gratefully, is making it all about his sexuality. Plenty of gay skaters have kept their mouth quiet about their preferences and just skated.
Except instead of vaulting he would deliberately miss and land on the pole.
beenadictiam... perhaps?
ESPN was ga-ga over “the first openly homosexual Olympic athlete,” eliciting guffaws from anyone who remembers male figure skaters on past U.S. Olympic teams.

Ya got me on that one!
The tolerant Left.
Grandstanding prima donna jerk.
Was that redundant?
Another militant homo.
If you extend and olive branch to a homo he’ll think it’s a sex toy.
I agree. Is Pence this naive? If he is, I’m not voting for him in 2024!
Na, I think he’s a sword swallower.
I hope he falls on his arse....a lot.
If he/she/it does not make his/her/its fortune in figure skating, perhaps he/she/it has a future in comedy!
And this behavior is why I will not watch this year’s Olympics. Limbs infect everything with divisive politics
Faggots say the darndest things!
