Dishonoring his country and our President in that way at a world event like the Olympics should be cause to have his medal revoked. He doesn't deserve it.

So disgusted!

Still wondering on what basis he calls the Administration, "homophobic?"

Freedom of speech, baby. It's the first part of the Bill of Rights.

Funny how some folks like to pick and choose which parts of the Constitution they'll honor, and which they won't. The Constitution is not a Chinese menu.

Pence can say what he wants about LGBTQ folks. And we can say what we want about what Pence says.

I like the first amendment, I think it's a GREAT thing. Not sucky at all. I'm sorry you are having such trouble with it.

Right, of course you wouldn't.

Rippon thinks he was 'ripped-off' by the judges and instead of focusing on that, he chose to take his exasperation out on President Trump's administration. Typical - especially since the "liberal-biased" media is adding fuel to the fire as usual.
