American Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon criticized the decision for United States Vice President Mike Pence to lead the U.S. delegation at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, on Tuesday.
According to Christine Brennan of USA Today, Rippon is believed to be the first openly gay American Olympian.
Regarding Pence as the leader of the U.S. delegation, Rippon took issue with the vice president's views on gay people: "You mean Mike Pence, the same Mike Pence that funded gay conversion therapy? I'm not buying it."
