My fail is when Trump called the US
00:00:02
men's hockey team in the locker room
00:00:04
after their victory where Cash Patel was
00:00:05
making a [ __ ] idiot himself, chugging
00:00:07
beers and acting like he was 21 when
00:00:09
he's old and spending taxpayer money.
00:00:11
But let's not get into that imbecile.
00:00:14
But anyways, Trump then tried to said
00:00:17
hold my beer to Cash Patel and he
00:00:19
invited them to the State of the Union
00:00:21
and the White House. But let's listen to
00:00:23
how he said it.
00:00:24
>> We'll do the White House the next day.
00:00:25
We'll just have some fun. We have medals
00:00:27
for you guys. And we have to, I must
00:00:29
tell you, we're going to have to bring
00:00:30
the woman's team. You do know that.
00:00:34
>> It's so great to have a really old man
00:00:36
make a stupid old man joke. And that is
00:00:39
fine. He is what he is. And it was just
00:00:42
gross to insult the women who had just
00:00:44
won the gold medal. The guys laughed.
00:00:46
And I get it. You're in a locker room.
00:00:47
You just won. You're all excited. And
00:00:49
you have the president calling you. But
00:00:50
you don't have to laugh at his jerky
00:00:52
joke. I'm not someone who doesn't like a
00:00:54
good joke. I put up with Scots all the
00:00:56
time, but this is just not funny and it
00:00:58
isn't funny to the women's team. Now, a
00:01:00
day later, after Trump did invite the US
00:01:02
uh women's hockey team, it turns out
00:01:04
they simply can't make it. Spokesman for
00:01:07
the team said, "We are sincerely
00:01:09
grateful for the invitation extended to
00:01:10
our gold medalinning US women's hockey
00:01:12
team and added that they would not be
00:01:14
able to attend, quote, due to the timing
00:01:16
and previously scheduled academic and
00:01:18
professional commitments." I love that.
