The Milan Cortina Winter Olympics have officially come to a close, after over two weeks of competition and pageantry. The games had no shortage of shocking moments, ranging from inspirational artistry to cheating scandals to surprising cameos. But now, the final day of the games brought a controversy that is impacting the political sphere.
On Sunday, after the USA Men’s Hockey Team defeated Canada in the gold medal game, video of their locker room celebrations soon found their way online. Seen among the team was none other than Kash Patel, the current director of the FBI. In an additional video, Patel was shown sharing a call from President Donald Trump with the team, during which a misogynistic joke was cracked about the USA Women’s Hockey Team, who also won gold earlier in the games. As Trump put it, “I guess I have to invite the women’s team too or else I’ll get impeached,” with Patel responding that he could help arrange such a visit.
