"Figure skater named Amber Glenn, never heard of her before this, but launched a rant about Trump and the transgender issue, saying, quote, It's been a hard time for the LGBT community overall in this administration,' which it hasn't been. But she was a three-time reigning champ and was expected to at least win a medal. She flopped, got 13th place."
"I don't know why we don't start vetting these Olympians before they actually start to represent us overseas for their patriotism. My friend at the Federalist, Sean Davis, Sean Fleetwood, he wrote this great article. She continued: He said the patriotic thing to do is actually to root against these unpatriotic Olympians because they're going out bashing us. Why should we cheer for them? Why should we want them to win? It's absurd."
Newsmax hosts Carl Higbie and Evita Duffy-Alfonso ridiculed Olympic figure skater Amber Glenn after she criticized President Donald Trump and addressed transgender issues. The hosts noted Glenn finished 13th despite expectations of medaling and suggested athletes should focus on competition rather than politics. Duffy-Alfonso proposed vetting Olympians for patriotism and cited an article arguing viewers should root against athletes perceived as unpatriotic. Duffy-Alfonso argued that threats are to girls and women whose private spaces are invaded and to athletes assaulted by males, framing transgender policies as endangering those groups. They questioned whether Americans should cheer for athletes who criticize the country.
