US hockey captain responds to Trump’s ‘distasteful’ quip about women’s team

Captain of the U.S. women’s ice hockey team, Hilary Knight, responded to comments Donald Trump made to the men’s team after both won gold at the Winter Olympics, saying his wisecrack about also having to invite the women to the White House to celebrate their achievement is “overshadowing” the success of Team USA. “I must tell you, we’re going to have to bring the women’s team,” Trump had said. “You do know that. I do believe I probably would be impeached.” A video of the interaction, which shows some of the men’s team laughing, went viral shortly after. Knight called it "distasteful and unfortunate," but said it wasn't her job to explain other people's behaviour.
