Hilary Knight Calls Out Donald Trump's 'Inappropriate' Joke

Hilary Knight, a hockey star, responded to President Donald Trump's joke about inviting Team USA's gold medal-winning hockey team to the White House. Knight called the joke distasteful and highlighted the importance of championing women's achievements.

Trump made the remark during a call with the Team USA men's squad after their gold medal win over Canada at the 2026 Olympics in Milan, Italy. He joked about inviting the women's team, implying he could face impeachment if he didn't.

At a press conference, Knight emphasized shifting the focus to both Team USA hockey teams' gold wins, acknowledging the historic achievement of both the men and women's teams winning together.

USA Hockey confirmed that the women's team declined an invitation to Trump's State of the Union speech, expressing gratitude for the recognition but citing busy schedules. Some members of the men's team skipped the White House visit for various reasons.

Knight highlighted the intense rivalry between Team USA and Team Canada, praising the level of competition it brings out. Trump later praised both hockey teams' Olympic success during his State of the Union speech.
