“I don’t know why we don’t start vetting these olympians before they represent us overseas for their patriotism”

The Constitution protects free speech. That includes speech you don’t like. Loyalty tests aren’t American.

Because we're not fucking fascists.

Because we’re not Nazis?? And because MAGA would get destroyed at the Winter Olympics

Hi, American here. There’s nothing more American than having the ability to openly criticize your government. There’s nothing more un-American than criticism an American Olympic athlete for using their first amendment right. Thanks.

Republicans go all North Korean as soon as they don't like something you said.

ICYMI, the “patriotic” @NEWSMAX corporation was started by the estate of former Reagan CIA Director, election thief & Knight of Malta, William Casey. On its current Board of Directors sits Alex Acosta who bent over backwards to ensure Jeffrey Epstein could rape more kids.

Trump has made America a shit hole third world country.

We do. We vet them to see how good they are at their sport. Sorry it’s not Conservative DEI.

Has Trump said yet he'd have won all the medals??

I guess we are going to continue behaving like North Korea….

Vetting for patriotism….these people overlook a child rapist in the White House and are worried about this crap

There is no bottom to these vile subhumans. Dont they realize everyone hates them?

And here I thought they were being vetted for their athleticism.

There was once a time when even Alexander Hamilton knew we should distinguish “patriotism from a blind partiality for national errors.” Why can’t we make America great again in THAT way?

I guess that would be true in North Korea, but we are not that kind of country despite what Trump wants. We are allowed freedom of speech here. We also have empathy here for the failure of an Olympic athlete.

The deplorables are attacking people who are at the top of their professions. Great stuff. 😭🤣✌️

I'd love it if we could start vetting presidents to make sure they're not part of an international sex trafficking ring of pedophiles

They are vetted. It's called the Olympic trials where they prove they are the best at their sport of anyone in the USA. The best! They don't have to pass the fucking @evitaduffy_1 patriot test too.

Pure disgusting authoritarianism. If Olympians were talking trash about Biden 4 years ago @FoxNews would cheer them on as free speech heroes. They literally have done that in the past! MAGAts have absolutely zero true constitutional patriotism.

Patriotism should be the default entry requirement. not a bonus point awarded later.

.@evitaduffy_1 ... shame on your duplicity.

Because this isn’t North Korea and fake “patriotism” doesn’t get you to the Olympics, no matter how important some rando on a third rate propaganda network thinks it is.

Yeah, if we vetted our athletes for fealty to the king before sending them to the Olympics, they could probably tie for 5th place.

if you do not strictly follow the rules of the state you will be sent to prison for “retraining “ listen to yourselves. This is America the free? You guys are fucked

Because they are chosen based on skill, not for kissing the government’s ass.

The US Olympic committee and team are not funded through tax dollars, but by sponsors and donors. This means that they represent the American people not the government. They need to fuck off with their wannabe authoritarian bullshit.

I mean, if you're the the type that thinks we need to have a litmus test like this, you're also the type that is going to make it so insanely as stupid and conservative that those who even qualify will be shit athletes and we'll never win medals again.

If every Olympic athlete the US sent was MAGA, we’d be placing a lot lower than 13th lmfao

Fuck you for thinking you are the judge of patriotism!

The best way to show what America is about is to tolerate dissent. That makes us very much different from much of the world. To be able to express disagreement with the government without fear of consequence is great.

I can only imagine … Kid Rock - figure skating Randy Fine - speed skating Karoline Leavitt - speed lying (new event) Kristi Noem - biathlon with dogs as targets And a special performance of the national anthem by Lara Trump

This dick!
