  I honestly feel a little bad for them as a group. FBI director flies out wanting to borrow some glory - are these euphoric kids supposed to stand up and object when a teammate invites him in? Or when the president calls, are they expected to object or call him out?

  I assume that most of them just went along with it, the comments “absolutely” and “2 for 2” showed support of the women’s team. And now, they probably hope it’ll just blow over. I blame Patel and the president the most, which leads again to blaming the electorate and Congress that put/keep them in power

    if these kids can’t be responsible enough to not turn into misogynists assholes upon light probing, they shouldn’t be representing anything
