AN OLYMPIC BETRAYAL ON THE WORLD STAGE: An American athlete has SHOCKINGLY used the global platform of the 2026 Games to launch a BLISTERING attack on U.S. law enforcement, siding with activists against the very agents sworn to protect our borders. In a move that has left patriots FURIOUS, curler Rich Ruohonen hijacked a Team USA press conference to decry ICE operations in Minnesota, operations that resulted in the deaths of two individuals during a confrontation.
“What’s happening in Minnesota is wrong — there’s no shades of grey,” declared Ruohonen, a personal injury lawyer, in a statement dripping with contempt for federal authority. He DARED to invoke the Constitution he claims to uphold, while implicitly condemning the officers acting under its laws. This is not unity; this is a calculated, politically charged BROADSIDE from a man wearing the Stars and Stripes.

Ruohonen is now the SECOND U.S. Olympian to express “mixed emotions” about representing America, following skier Hunter Hess’s controversial remarks that drew rightful condemnation. This reveals a DEEPLY DISTURBING pattern: a faction within Team USA is more committed to radical activism than national pride. They bask in the glory of American sponsorship and wear the uniform, only to STAB the nation in the back on international soil.
His rant, praising protestors while ignoring the dangers faced by ICE agents, is a SLAP IN THE FACE to every citizen who believes in law and order. He claims to “love” his country while systematically undermining its authority and dividing its people from a podium meant for celebration. What does it say when our Olympic representatives see the flag not as a symbol of unity, but as a platform for their own divisive grievances?

The infection of woke politics has now reached the pinnacle of international sport, turning the Olympic arena into a battleground for domestic sabotage. As Ruohonen prepares to compete, one must ask: is he fighting for gold, or for a cause that seeks to dismantle American sovereignty from within? The podium has become a pulpit, and the message is one of stunning disloyalty. This is what the end of patriotism looks like, broadcast live to the entire world.
