Reporter: “Are you guys excited to be going to the White House and meeting Trump?” Team USA Hockey Gold Medalist Jack Hughes: “Yeah, we're excited. Everything is so political. We're athletes, we're so proud to represent the U.S. And when you get the chance to meet the president, we're proud to be Americans, and that’s so patriotic.” “No matter what your views are, we're super excited to go to the White House.” Reporter: “How do you feel about the women not going?” Jack Hughes: “They got busy schedules too. Everyone’s giving us backlash for all that social media stuff today, but it’s so negative. People are so negative out there, and they’re trying to find a reason to put people down and make something out of almost nothing.” Credit: The Daily Mail
