Is Olympian Hunter Hess more AIN than USA?

 Noel S. Williams - American Thinker   

"Maybe he’s just young and immature.  Maybe he can be redeemed before falling further into anti-Americanism." 

..."At the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Milano, there are athletes competing without national flags, uniforms, or anthems. The designation given to them is Individual Neutral Athletes (AIN). There are about 20 of them: thirteen from Russia and seven from Belarus. There should be 21 of them — at least. 

    "The twenty-first AIN being from the great ol’ US of A. His name is Hunter Hess (sounds more German than American) and his ingratitude and disloyalty to America rather gets my dander up. Hess (he should change his name to the more anglicized version) is from Bend, Oregon, which is a sanctuary jurisdiction. While obliging himself to America’s beneficence, he dared to spew at a news conference that he doesn’t represent “everything that’s going on in the U.S.” 

   "That insubordination also got President Trump’s dander up as he took to social media, penning this: U.S. Olympic Skier, Hunter Hess, a real Loser, says he doesn’t represent his Country in the current Winter Olympics. If that’s the case, he shouldn’t have tried out for the Team, and it’s too bad he’s on it. Very hard to root for someone like this. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! 

   "Hess had a hissy fit about his country’s (“his,” when convenient for him, that is) immigration enforcement. Fine, then take the uniform off and don’t dare wave the Stars and Stripes. You are not worthy. Even though a majority of patriotic Americans support deporting criminal illegal aliens and local cooperation with ICE, let’s concede that some may disagree with certain tactics. They may be entitled to their misguided opinions, but they should not misspeak overseas while wearing our colors. That’s more AIN than USA." . . .  More...
