Trump Slammed Over 'Inexcusable' Team USA Women's Hockey Joke After Olympic Gold Win
HuffPost
Critics weren't happy with what Trump said about inviting the winning women to the White House after they defeated rival Canada, just like the men.
President Donald Trump is facing criticism on Monday after he joked with the Olympic podium-topping U.S. men’s ice hockey team about having to invite the gold medal-winning American women’s squad to the White House, as well.
In a congratulatory phone call with the U.S. men, who took gold at the Winter Olympics for the first time in 46 years, Trump suggested using military aircraft to fly the team out to his State of the Union address on Tuesday before sharing a “very cool” pitch for the team to visit the White House the following day.
“And we have to — I must tell you — we’re going to have to bring the women’s team,” said Trump, who went on to chuckle as the American men burst into laughter in a clip circulating on social media.
He added, “[If I don’t] do that, I do believe I probably would be impeached, OK?”
The clip shows FBI Director Kash Patel, who is facing backlash of his own for guzzling beers with the U.S. men on a reportedly taxpayer-funded trip to Italy, holding the phone as Trump speaks to the team and telling the president in a slurred voice that he can arrange such a visit.
"Sorry, what was that?" one critic hit back at the president on social media.
