Christopher Cuomo is mad the gold winning Men's Olympic team is being politicized. Um, ok? Inviting them to the White House is now wrong for some reason? Did he feel that way when the 1980 team visited Jimmy Carter?
I wish they weren't being politicized as they were last night https://t.co/IqrfFev3fl

1980 Miracle on Ice Team after winning 🥇 with Jimmy Carter at the White House. They flew on Air Force One.

Oh, so it wasn't a problem then, but now suddenly it's a problem.
The word is celebrated. Just like President Carter and Vice President Mondale celebrated the 1980 team. pic.twitter.com/wp53Qj7yfQ

Back then, it was simply being patriotic.
Now do Obama:

Examples from Obama’s State of the Union events
At the 2014 State of the Union Address, Obama invited Jason Collins, a professional basketball player who was the first openly gay male athlete in a major U.S. team sport, as one of his guests in the First Lady’s…
It's (D) different when Democrats do it.
I wish you had another brain cell to keep that one company

Celebrated.

That's also what celebrating them on the highest stage would look like.
It's only "politicized" if you hate Trump.
The only people politicizing it are insane Leftists.
More double standards from the left. https://t.co/SefJDiW8IV

If loving America and being celebrated by the whole country at the state of the union is political towards Republicans, Democrats are so screwed. Democrats are going to look back and really regret giving Republicans a monopoly on patriotism

It's a concerted choice the Left made.
If being a proud American is political, thats on democrats, not republicans, it used to be a value SHARED by the MAJORITY of the country... pic.twitter.com/7jomfWjGAS

Its obvious that Democrats really don't like this Country. All they managed to do was make arses of themselves. Again.

This is such a dumb take. This team just brought home Gold Medals for the first time in 46 years, and they were honored by the duly-elected President of the United States in front of the entire U.S. Congress. Only people with a loser-mentality would think this way. https://t.co/XGjarVBy3E

If the shoe fits ...
Honest question, should no athletes who win titles visit the White House as has been done for generations? Do you believe it should be ended? Why is this political and the past forty years of athlete visits were not? https://t.co/SRt5XoX4ah

Athletes can only visit when a Democrat is in the White House. Then, it's patriotic. Otherwise, it's a transgression against the nation.
