The ongoing controversy surrounding Team USA women’s hockey players declining an invitation to the White House from Donald Trump has taken another turn as several members of the squad have finally broken their silence.
Several stars of the Olympic gold-winning team, including captain Hilary Knight, responded to a “distasteful” joke made by Trump, following intense backlash from netizens who perceived it as “disrespect” toward the president.
“I genuinely feel bad that the women’s hockey team is having to respond to this temper tantrum…” wrote one social media user.
