Transgender BMX Freestyle rider Chelsea Wolfe said in a now deleted Facebook post that her goal was to "Burn a US flag" on the Olympic podium.
That's one way to decrease your chances of making the Olympic team.
At least, it used to be.... Wolfe had previously qualified as an alternate for the U.S. Olympic team at the upcoming Tokyo Olympics, according to Newsweek and Fox.
"My goal is to win the Olympics so I can burn a US flag on the podium. This is what they focus on during a pandemic. Hurting trans children," Wolfe wrote in March 2020.
She told Fox that the post "Doesn't mean she doesn't care about her home country", stating: "Anyone who thinks that I don't care about the United States is sorely mistaken."
Earlier this month, Wolfe was writing less about potentially harming the sitting President and burning the U.S. flag, and more about how happy she was to have made the Olympic team.
"I searched for so long trying to find out if there had ever been a professional trans bmx rider to show me that who I am would be okay and unfortunately I found no one," Wolfe wrote on June 12.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
