HuffPost
The Texas Republican describes hammer thrower Gwen Berry's silent protest against racism as a "pathology" linked to "critical race theory."
Critics erupted Monday after Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas) demanded that Black athlete Gwen Berry be kicked off the U.S. Olympic team for turning her back on the American flag during the anthem in protest at trials over the weekend. Berry, a hammer thrower who qualified for the Tokyo Olympics after placing third in Oregon, was protesting “systemic racism” and police brutality in the U.S. “We don’t need any more activist athletes,” Crenshaw snapped Monday on “Fox & Friends.” “She should be removed from the team. The entire point of the Olympic team is to represent the United States of America. It’s the entire point.”More Related News
