White House press secretary Jen Psaki defended hammer thrower Gwen Berry's right to 'peacefully protest,' after the Tokyo-bound athlete turned her back on the US flag during Olympic trials. Psaki told Fox News' Peter Doocy at Monday's press briefing that while she and President Joe Biden hadn't spoken specifically about the incident, Biden is 'incredibly proud to be an American and has great respect for the anthem and all that it respresents, especially for our men and women serving in uniform all around the world.'
'He would also say, of course, that part of that pride in our country means recognizing there are moments

But............ protesting CRT, ACA, taxes, spending, election theft, or even proudly waving the flag will get you labeled an un-democratic racist extremists isurrectionist.

The actions of the White House make more sense when you
understand that Obama is running the presidency.
Biden is a caged parrot who agrees with anything if he gets attention.

If only all of us could live up to the high ideals of the Xi-den family.
From now on - - before I make any decision - - I'm going to ask myself - - "What would Hunter do?"

I just heard this thought on the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton (successors to Rush) show.
Imagine this scenario at the actual Olympics: a Chinese athlete wins an event, an American takes the silver. As the Chinese anthem is being played, the American on the podium takes a knee. Do you think the stupid woke folk would uphold the American's right to "express themselves"?

What BS. Political blather we have heard thousands of times. She is just another low IQ black with a chip on her shoulder. The Rosenbergs liked to point out that the US was bad too while helping the Soviets to our atomic secrets.

So Gwen, the second loser in Hammer throw, has a temper tantrum over the National Anthem. She couldn't just just take a knee like everyone else, she had to be a drama queen and really show her contempt for the country that allows her earn money throwing hammers. Nope, she had to sway and act like a two year old, putting a shirt over her head. She says don't put words into my mouth about hating the country. Its not her words that makes everyone think she hates the USA. It is her actions. Berry shows nothing but contempt for the US with her comments and actions. Nobody is making her represent the US as she certainly does not represent us.

Why wouldn't the Black House defend her? This regime is in love with every America-hating freak show that comes do the pike, so it is right in character with their continued destruction of all things that can be considered to be American culture and tradition.
When do we say enough? Say when.

So Jen Psaki with the silent "P" says its OK to hate your country which is a lie. I wonder what else she is lying about. I noticed that "America Hater Gwen Berry", came in third place...so there is an excellent chance we won't have to see her fat ugly rear-end again when she has to face some real competition.

If Gwen Berry was upset about losing endorsement deals over her previous inappropriate protests, she just nailed the coffin shut on ever getting another endorsement deal with her America hating actions.

What Biden said about our country and Ms. Gwen Berry is a disgrace. Want to see a failure of high ideals, look no further than Hunter. As a representative of our country, Gwen is an embarrassment, and Biden is a traitor who obviously does not love this country.

Well, she achieved what she wanted to achieve, and that's to draw attention to she.
After all, doubtful she has much of a chance to be on any Olympic podium considering she came in THIRD in this event.
Glad to see today's democrats are okay with turning your back on the flag that represents the country you live in, and had a desire to represent on the world stage.
How sad for those people who support that notion.

Regarding Reply 22: According to a September, 2020 article from the Washington Post, Berry lost 75 percent of her funding after her clenched fist demonstration on the medal stand while the Anthem played at the 2019 Pan American Games. This sponsorship loss includes being dumped by leftist, social activist Nike. That is out of character for Nike, who gushes over Colin Kaepernick.

Biden the cheater, the dims, and the msm are sure desperate to keep the black vote, no? But, despite Berry's hate for America, she has failed. Most black remain in the Trump camp. Try that one on for size, DM.

I don't think the anthem is appropriate for sports events.
My response to attention-seeking flag/anthem dis-respecters is to ignore them.
In any case, I'm boycotting sports in order to deny them the attention they seek.

It is demoncrats who have never lived up to American ideals. They have no love of country, patriotism, or care for their fellow Americans. Everything to them is about political power. After starting a civil war, enacting Jim Crow laws, terrorizing blacks and republicans to repress their votes and political power with the Klan, enacting segregation to keep blacks as second-class citizens and opposing every civil rights law and amendment ever passed, we should never have to hear a word from them about living up to American ideals.
