An African America member of the U.S. bobsled team was excoriated by liberals on Twitter because she dared take a selfie with Ivanka Trump and presidential spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders at the Winter Games in PyeongChang, South Korea.
Silver medal winning bobsledder Lauren Gibbs jumped to Twitter to post the selfie with Trump and Sanders adding a caption pleading with Americans to be civil. But, as liberals are wont to do, the athlete was thoroughly destroyed by leftists who insisted that there is no reason at all to be civil to people who hold the wrong political position. In no uncertain terms, liberal Twitter trolls accused the black athlete of being a race traitor, not caring about people, and aiding in the looting of America by rich white people.
Gibbs started her tweet on a positive note:
“It’s important to remember,” Gibbs wrote on her February 24 tweet, “that we don’t have to agree on everything to get along, be civil to each other and enjoy each others company. #itsforamerica it was a pleasure to meet you both!”

But Gibbs’ liberal fans were not at all pleased with the photo nor interested in civil relations with anyone who might disagree with their political point of view. Tweet after tweet slammed Gibbs for taking the picture and cast ridicule and hate on her selfie mates.

Ivanka & Sarah are in the positions they are for the specific purpose of normalizing/ beautifying a corrupt, discriminatory, authoritarian regime. This is no longer a matter of civility – we must resist them with every fiber of our being.

“We don’t have to agree on everything” applies when debating musical taste, not my human rights. The Trump Whitehouse wants to strip LGBTQ+ Americans of their rights. How do you reconcile supporting gay olympians and seeking out a photo op with members of this administration?

These people only give a damn about you if you help increase their wealth or power. They only care for themselves, no one else. To me, posting this does not show civility; it shows a lack of awareness as to what’s going on in the country you represent

There were literally hundreds more like this and worse.
So, like liberals everywhere, if you don’t toe the left-wing line, you don’t deserve to be treated like a human being. That is liberalism in a niushell.
All liberals are fascists. It’s really just that simple.
UPDATE
By Monday, February 26, the Olympic athlete had deleted her selfie with Ivanka.
