After the U.S. Men’s and Women’s Hockey teams brought in the Gold at the Winter Olympics, President Trump called the men’s team and invited them to the White House. On that call he quipped that he might also have to invite the women’s team, “… or else, I do believe I probably would be impeached.”
If he thought this was funny, it backfired. For the women’s team captain, Hilary Knight, known as the heartbeat of their team, stood strong at press conferences afterward. When asked about what Trump said, she said the joke was distasteful and unfortunate. But she had no intention of participating in shifting the narrative away from the extraordinary efforts and collective work of her team. “These women are amazing.” “We are strong women who can do anything together.” And that she and her team choose to celebrate—in other words, not give Trump’s misogynistic mouthings any time of day.
She and her team deserve ANOTHER medal!
