U.S. Trans Olympic Athlete: ‘My Goal Is To Win The Olympics So I Can Burn A U.S. Flag On The Podium’

A transgender Olympic athlete that qualified as an alternate to represent the United States at this year’s Summer Olympics said last year that her goal was to win so that she could burn an American flag on stage.

BMX freestyle rider Chelsea Wolfe wrote in Facebook post unearthed by Fox News: “My goal is to win the Olympics so I can burn a US flag on the podium.”

The post, which included a link to an article on a far-left blog that was attacking the Trump administration, continued: “This is what they focus on during a pandemic. Hurting trans children.”

Wolfe claimed in a statement that anyone who thinks she does not America was “sorely mistaken,” despite Wolfe’s statement to burn an American flag on the world stage while representing the U.S.

“One of the reasons why I work so hard to represent the United States in international competition is to show the world that this country has morals and values, that it’s not all of the bad things that we’re known for,” Wolfe claimed. “I take a stand against fascism because I care about this country and I’m not going to let it fall into the hands of fascists after so many people have fought and sacrificed to prevent fascism from taking hold abroad. As a citizen who wants to be proud of my home country, I’m sure as hell not going to let it take hold here.”
