Ted Cruz

I'm not going to root for you.

I'm going to root for the athletes that say I'm competing for America.

I thought people were a little bit overwrought in condemning Eileen Gu.

I don't know her at all, and she's a talented athlete, and she's, you know, a 20-year-old kid.

But she made the decision she wants the Chinese to root for, and she does not want America to root for.

And to be clear, when she made that decision, she's saying, I want the United States of America to lose.

Yeah.

That's a decision I disagree with.

And the contrast with Alyssa Liu, she was offered millions of dollars.

Look, he was incredibly driven.

He raised his daughter.

She was extraordinary.

And I will say one aspect of this story that I really like.

According to the Internet, according to Twitter, apparently Alyssa Liu is politically liberal.

And so leftists are like, you conservatives can't cheer her on because she is allegedly woke.

I don't know if she's politically liberal or not, but you know what?

I don't care.

She competed for America when she was standing there.

She had the American flag around her shoulder.

She's tearing up as the Star Spangled Banner.
