Team USA's Olympic hockey heroes are being dragged through the mud by woke Canadian reporters who can't stand the fact that President Donald Trump called to congratulate America's gold medalists—and that our boys actually enjoyed talking to their Commander-in-Chief.
The manufactured controversy erupted after Trump phoned the victorious Team USA locker room Sunday following their dominant gold medal performance. During the celebratory call, the President apparently cracked a joke that sent the players into laughter—a completely normal reaction that has somehow become an international incident thanks to triggered leftist media.
Now these world-class athletes are being subjected to hostile interrogations by Canadian sports reporters who seem more interested in attacking Trump than celebrating athletic excellence. One particularly obnoxious Canadian journalist had the audacity to demand explanations from our Olympic champions about why they dared to laugh during a conversation with the President of the United States.
"Why would you laugh?" the reporter pressed, as if enjoying a moment with the leader of the free world was somehow offensive.
The relentless media pressure has been so intense that at least one Team USA player actually apologized, saying "If we were to do it again, I think we wouldn't do that, and we made a mistake." What mistake? Showing respect and having a good time with their President after achieving the pinnacle of their sport?
This is exactly the kind of Trump Derangement Syndrome that patriots have come to expect from the international left-wing media machine. These are American heroes who just brought home Olympic gold, and instead of celebration, they're getting lectured by foreign journalists who can't handle Trump's popularity.
When even a congratulatory phone call from the President becomes controversial, you know the media has completely lost its mind. Our athletes shouldn't have to apologize for representing America with pride or for enjoying a moment of triumph with President Trump.
How long will our Olympic champions continue to be harassed simply for accepting congratulations from their own President?
