So — as these Milano Winter Games come to a close, this is exceedingly… revealing.

Hinderaker crows that Tangerine 2.0 invited the men’s hockey team to his SOTU speech, on Tuesday.

He originally made no such offer to the women’s team.

[BTW, John — they also won gold. For its part the NHL’s stars are saying that travel arrangements may be “difficult” — vis-a-vis the timing of the abrupt restart of NHL play. Hilarious! These guys can charter their own jets, man. But they do. not. want. to. be. props.]

In any event, Hinderaker well knows… these are very powerful, brilliant women. They too might not agree to only be “seen, and not heard“.

O U T.
