Freestyle skier Hunter Hess was asked at a press conference Wednesday how he feels about representing America at the Winter Olympics, given its acute tension over violent immigration raids and other political crises.
“There’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of, and I think a lot of people aren’t,” Hess said in Italy.
"Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the US,” Hess added.
Hess said it "brings up mixed emotions to represent the US right now.”
This young man is a hero for speaking out.



Thank you for sharing that personal note. I’m so sorry to hear what you and your son had to go through. The fact that your ex even helped you with canvassing for Obama in 2008 and then for things to turn around like this is mind-boggling.
But you’re right to point out that the cult has sucked in so many people, particularly some who used to be quite normal at an earlier point. This is very sad and I feel for you, your son, and everyone who has suffered from this.
