Monica Showalter:
“…Olympic hammer-thrower Gwen Berry is brimming with hypocrisies.
The past-peak athlete, who placed third in the June 26 Olympic trials and then stole the show at the medal ceremony by turning her back to the U.S. flag as the National Anthem played, not only has spewed hate at the country that gave her her opportunities, but also piously whined about not being listened to.
It’s obvious enough in this headline here:
Olympian Gwen Berry knows the athlete’s voice isn’t always welcomed
Now it comes to light that maybe there’s a reason for that. Her past tweets have surfaced, and boy, do they stink.
According to the Daily Mail:
Olympic hammer thrower Gwen Berry’s history of offensive tweets has been uncovered after she snubbed the American national anthem during trials last weekend.
Berry, 32, made a variety of tasteless jokes and observations in messages dating back up to ten years, but which are still visible on her account.
The athlete — who has insisted that the National Anthem is racist — posted tweets mocking Chinese, Mexican and white people.
Someone at the Daily Mail apparently had to go look at them, and managed to find not just this curation of still-up-there-shareable tweets displayed above, but found even more racist tweets in further curations within the story. See the rest here.
Yes, they’re old tweets, but she was competing nationally when she made them. She was also yelling about not being listened to, as if we need to take in that. Since then, she’s complained about dropped endorsements from past protests, whining and whining about people not listening to her, yet here’s what she’s had to say. Her disgusting racist tweets directed against Mexicans and Asians are now even more appalling given the spate of black-on-Asian hate crime violence that has built from this boiling culture of such hate. We haven’t heard a peep from her about that…”
