Members of the U.S. women’s hockey team have expressed disappointment at President Donald Trump’s “distasteful” joke about being forced to invite them to Washington, D.C., while emphasizing that the uproar shouldn’t distract from their victory.
The controversy began on Sunday, when Trump called the men’s hockey team after they won the Olympic gold medal — their first since 1980 — and invited them to the State of the Union and the White House. He said he’d extend the same offer to the women’s team, which also won gold against Canada.
