"Tired of Reading Hate" US Olympic Bobsledder, Lauren Gibbs, Relentlessly Attacked Online by Leftists for This Video with Ivanka Trump

American silver medal-winning bobsledder Lauren Gibbs has taken to social media to respond to criticism over photos she took with Ivanka Trump when the first daughter visited the just-concluded Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.



Trump and Gibbs exchanged pleasantries Sunday morning while watching the four-man bobsled competition. At one point, Gibbs let Trump try on the silver medal that the athlete won with Elana Meyers Taylor in the two-woman bobsled competition.



"I feel like this almost is like trying on someone's wedding band," Trump said. "Am I allowed?"



Gibbs posted a photo of her and Trump on Twitter with the caption, "It’s important to remember that we don’t have to agree on everything to get along, be civil to each other and enjoy each others company."



Social media backlash was swift and Gibbs ultimately deleted the post, saying on Tuesday that she was "tired of reading the hate."



“I deleted (by choice) the photo because I was tired of reading the hate being thrown back and forth. Whether you hate me for posting or hate me for taking it down... you are the same... hate from either side is hate,” she wrote in the post.
