In a TikTok post on Tuesday, the team event gold medalist brandished her newly won hardware with teammate Alysa Liu and eviscerated her critics.
“They hate to see two woke bitches winning,” Glenn wrote. “If ‘Woke’ means people who use their platforms to advocate for marginalized communities in the country that they are actively representing …… Then yeah sure?”
Glenn has taken heat for speaking out against the Trump administration at the Milan Cortina Games, and she appeared to direct her barb at detractors.
Glenn, who is pansexual, had said she would back off from social media after commenters threatened her for voicing her political stance. “I am disappointed by it,” she said in a now-expired Instagram story.
In earlier remarks, she said, “It’s been a hard time for the [LGBTQ+] community overall in this administration. … I know that a lot of people say you’re just an athlete, like, stick to your job, shut up about politics, but politics affect us all.”
Freestyle skier Hunter Hess bore the brunt of President Donald Trump’s wrath.
Hess said he had “mixed feelings” representing the U.S., prompting the president to call him a “real loser.” Other Olympians have also stood up against Trump’s policies, including the migrant crackdown and the government killings of two protesters.
