Skier Lindsey Vonn: I dont want to represent Trump at Olympics
Source: The Hill
Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn on Wednesday criticized President Trump, saying she doesnt believe he represents the country well.
"I want to represent our country well. I don't think that there are a lot of people currently in our government that do that," Vonn told CNN.
She added that she hopes "to represent the people of the United States, not the president" at the upcoming Winter Olympics.
The skier also said she would not accept an invitation to the White House if she won another gold medal at next years Winter Olympics.

I had not really seen her speak, but now understand why neighbors of mine who have long been involved with the skiing and the Olympics were so impressed with her as a spokesperson.

(391 posts)intimidate him. The Olympians are our representatives not the tangerine turd's.
The Games survived Hitler.
Is the tangerine turd actually threating to keep our athletes home because Putin's dopers can't go?
The Games will survive Puttin and tRump.
