He’s not here for it! Gus Kenworthy doesn’t understand why Ivanka Trump attended the Closing Ceremony for the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea.
The freestyle skier, 26, expressed his concern via Twitter on Sunday, February 25, while congregating his fellow Team USA athletes as they prepared for the culminating festivities. “So proud of all these people! Everybody here has worked so hard to make it to the Olympics and have the opportunity to walk in the closing ceremony,” he gushed before sharing his frustration that the fashion designer, 36, was present as well. “Well… Everyone except Ivanka. Honestly, tf is she doing here??”
Kenworthy also spoke out against Vice President Mike Pence’s trip to the country two weeks earlier when the conservative politician cheered on Team USA at the Opening Ceremony. “Our country is a patchwork nation, so I want to make sure people remember that,” the openly gay athlete previously told IPRESSTV. “The LGBT community has been so marginalized and underrepresented in so many ways that it’s more important than ever to stand up and be proud at these games. Mike Pence may say he’s an ally, but he has previously pushed agendas that have not been supportive, so that’s why I want to use my voice.”
