Team USA's Olympic hockey heroes found themselves under attack not from opposing players, but from woke Canadian media personalities who demanded explanations for why American athletes dared to laugh and celebrate during a congratulatory phone call from their own President.
After the team's gold medal victory on Sunday, President Trump called the locker room to congratulate the champions. The players naturally responded with laughter and cheers during what should have been a joyous moment of American pride. But apparently, showing respect and enthusiasm for the 47th President is now considered controversial by foreign press.
One Canadian sports reporter led the interrogation, grilling the young athletes with questions like "Why would you laugh?" as if enjoying a moment with their Commander-in-Chief was some kind of crime. When the predictable social media backlash hit her for her inappropriate line of questioning, the reporter blamed "the internet" rather than taking responsibility for her own biased journalism.
"If we were to do it again, I think we wouldn't do that, and we made a mistake," one player was pressured into saying after days of relentless media harassment.
This is exactly the kind of anti-American bias that President Trump has been fighting against for years. These young athletes accomplished something incredible for their country, brought home Olympic gold, and instead of celebrating their achievement, foreign media vultures descended to shame them for the "crime" of respecting their President.
Woke Media's War on American Pride
The fact that Canadian reporters feel entitled to lecture American athletes about their relationship with their own President shows just how deep the woke mind virus has infected North American media. These are the same people who would have celebrated if the team had disrespected Trump or refused his call.
Patriots across America should be asking themselves: Why are foreign media personalities allowed to bully our Olympic champions? And why did our athletes feel pressured to apologize for celebrating with President Trump?
Team USA brought home the gold, but the real victory belongs to President Trump – living rent-free in the heads of woke reporters across the continent.
