Hilary Knight calls President Trump’s White House invite a ‘distasteful joke’

United States Olympic women’s hockey team captain Hilary Knight called Trump’s invitation to the White House “a distasteful joke” on Wednesday during an appearance on ESPN’s SportsCenter.

The invite came after Trump extended a welcome to the men’s team via a phone call on Sunday, as celebration ensued in the locker room following their 2-1 gold medal overtime win against Canada.

“I must tell you, we’re gonna have to bring the women’s team — you do know that,” Trump said over a speakerphone held by FBI Director Kash Patel, who was videoed celebrating with the team.
