Ever hear of an Olympic athlete representing the President and not the country? Now you have. Also please note the stupid question which provoked this bit of virtue signaling and the news service the reporter represents.

Veteran alpine Olympic skier and gold medalist Lindsey Vonn told CNN Thursday that she will be competing in the 2018 Olympic games in Pyeongchang, South Korea for the people of the U.S. but not President Trump.

CNN’s Christina Macfarlane asked her “how will it feel competing for an Olympic games for a United States whose president is Donald Trump?”

“Well I hope to represent the people of the United States, not the president," Vonn replied.

"I take the Olympics very seriously and what they mean and what they represent, what walking under our flag means in the opening ceremony," she added. "I want to represent our country well. I don't think that there are a lot of people currently in our government that do that."

Vonn also said she would not accept an invitation to the White House.

"Absolutely not," she said. "No. But I have to win to be invited. No actually I think every US team member is invited so no I won't go.”
