Washington Examiner senior writer Joe Concha delivered a scathing takedown of the pathetic critics attacking the U.S. men's Olympic hockey team for attending President Trump's State of the Union address Tuesday night, calling the complainers a "whole bowl of wrong."

The gold medal champions were honored guests at Trump's triumphant speech after delivering a stunning 2-1 victory over Canada to claim Olympic gold. But instead of celebrating American excellence, the usual suspects on the left immediately went into meltdown mode over these patriotic athletes supporting their Commander-in-Chief.

"These are miserable people," Concha said, perfectly capturing what every red-blooded American was thinking while watching the leftist tantrum unfold online. "You have Olympic champions, American heroes who just beat Canada for gold, and these people are complaining they're celebrating with the President of the United States?"

"The critics are a whole bowl of wrong on this one. These athletes earned the right to be there through their incredible achievement for our country."

The hockey team's presence at the State of the Union was a perfect symbol of Trump's America First agenda in action. While the previous administration spent four years apologizing for American greatness, Trump celebrates our champions and puts American athletes first.

But the Trump Derangement Syndrome crowd can't stand seeing successful Americans support their president. These are the same people who cheered when woke athletes disrespected the flag, but now they're triggered by Olympic gold medalists showing pride in their country.

Real Americans Celebrate Excellence

What makes this even more satisfying is watching the establishment media's confusion. They're so used to athletes bashing America that they don't know how to handle genuine patriotism from our Olympic heroes.

President Trump understood the moment perfectly - honoring these champions while delivering his vision for American greatness. It's exactly the kind of leadership we've missed and exactly why the left is so bitter.

Joe Concha nailed it: the critics are completely wrong, and their miserable reaction only proves how out of touch they are with real Americans who love seeing our champions celebrated by our president.

Can someone explain why attending a State of the Union is suddenly controversial? I thought supporting your country used to be bipartisan.

Because Trump Derangement Syndrome makes everything political, even honoring Olympic champions.

As a former college athlete, this hits home. These Olympians sacrificed everything for their country and this is the thanks they get? Shameful.

Remember when Olympic heroes were universally celebrated regardless of politics? Those days seem long gone thanks to the radical left.

I'm 72 and you're absolutely right. Politics has poisoned everything now.

I watched that segment and Concha was on fire! These athletes worked their whole lives to represent America and now they're getting dragged through the mud for attending a patriotic event?

Joe Concha is becoming one of my favorite commentators. He always cuts through the BS and tells it like it is.

The media's treatment of these athletes is exactly why Trump won. Normal Americans are sick of this nonsense.

Finally someone with common sense! Joe Concha absolutely nailed it - these Olympic heroes deserve our respect, not attacks from bitter leftists.
