Just ten days into President Trump's triumphant return to the White House, Team USA Olympic skier Hunter Hess has delivered a slap in the face to every patriotic American by declaring he doesn't represent the United States—despite literally wearing our flag on his uniform.
The ungrateful athlete's anti-American comments have ignited a firestorm of criticism from Americans who are sick and tired of spoiled athletes biting the hand that feeds them. While millions of patriots celebrate Trump's America First agenda, Hess apparently thinks he's too good to represent the greatest nation on Earth.
Social media erupted with righteous anger over Hess's disgraceful statement. "Olympics skier Hunter Hess said he doesn't represent the US on team USA even though he has to wear the flag. The feeling is mutual, Hunter Hess. We're ashamed to have you representing the U.S.," tweeted @Outspoken_Sam, speaking for millions of Americans.
The backlash intensified as more patriots voiced their disgust. "Hunter hess POS hope you lose in some embarassing way. I'm not watching the olympics or cheering for Team USA because i'm sick of people like #HunterHess," posted @PhoebieJax, reflecting the sentiment of Americans who are done with woke athletes spitting on our country.
Part of a Disturbing Pattern
Hess isn't alone in his anti-American attitude. Fellow Team USA athletes Chris Lillis and skater Amber Glenn have also expressed similar sentiments, prompting calls for a complete Olympic boycott. "Team USA Olympic Skier Chris Lillis should leave or stay home and not compete at all if he feels that way regarding the Donald Trump & J.D. Vance Republican Party Administration," declared @FansStadium.
This is exactly the kind of America-hating nonsense that President Trump was elected to end. For too long, privileged athletes have used their platforms to trash the very country that gave them opportunities they could never find anywhere else.
If Hunter Hess and his fellow malcontents don't want to proudly represent America, maybe it's time they found another country to compete for. Real Americans deserve athletes who are honored—not ashamed—to wear our flag.
