I Was Tired Of Reading The Hate , Lauren Gibbs Silver Medalist, USA

[a kennedy]

U.S. Olympic bobsledder Lauren Gibbs refuses to give a platform to hate.

The 33-year-old athlete won a silver medal with Elana Meyers Taylor in the women’s bobsleigh event at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. But this week, she faced an online backlash over a selfie she took with senior White House adviser Ivanka Trump at the Games:

She, Lauren, should be the olympic star on all the talk shows.......she gets it, IF THERE IS EVER GOING TO BE A HEALING, A COMING TOGETHER, SHE STARTED IT. I know I almost threw up seeing that photo, but damn it, this division, this hate, this decisiveness can NOT go on forever. When is it going to stop?? I feel terrible for Lauren. Probably way to early for this "healing" to occur, but damn, I feel bad for her. JMHO.

1. I'm not gonna hate on her, but

I would rather pose with the ass end of a baboon than anyone in that family or this administration.

2. Ma'am, next time pick wisely who you want to have your selfies with.

Oh, and BTW, it doesn't matter if you "deleted" your selfie. It's too late, it's still out there and will be for permanently.

3. The selfie demonstrates real vs. fake.

Lauren looks authentic, with a genuine smile on her face, happy to be there. Ivanka looks like a fake doll, with too much makeup and a smile for the camera, not because she’s happy. For her, it’s all for the photo op.
