If you're mad at Gwen Berry but not the terrorists who stormed the Capitol, you're part of the probl
Gwen Berry is a patriot.
The whiny-ass petulant terrorists who tried to overthrow the government and kill former Vice President Mike Pence and other elected officials, because they lost an election that was rigged in their favor through voter suppression, are not.
On Saturday, Berry became a two-time Olympian, as she will represent her country at the Tokyo Games in a few weeks in the hammer throw. However, no one is talking about that right now. If you Google the term “national anthem,” you’ll see that every article listed under “top stories” features Berry. Olympic hammer throwers don’t usually dominate conversations like this, as the sport has never been a marquee event of the Summer Games. But when the story involves an unapologetic Black woman turning away from the American flag on the podium, it becomes breaking news. As the anthem played — something USA Track and Field told Reuters was played at the trials on a pre-arranged schedule — Berry turned to face the stands, not the flag. Berry even put a shirt over her head that read “activist athlete.” She feels like the anthem’s cue was intentional. The powers that be say it was just a coincidence.
“I feel like it was a setup,” Berry explained about how the anthem was played while she happened to be on the podium. “I feel like they did that on purpose, and I was pissed, to be honest. I was thinking about, ‘what should I do?’ Eventually, I just stayed there and just swayed. I put my shirt over my head. It was real disrespectful. I know they did that on purpose, but it’ll be alright. I see what’s up.”

Know who I'm disgusted with? Dan Crenshaw, the hypocritical GOPster veteran with the eyepatch screaming ""m a veteran, I'm such a patriot, look at meeeeeeee!" who is making such a fuss about Ms. Berry. Of course, he's someone's rep. from a gerrymandered district in Texass.
