British Winter Olympian Pees A Message In The Snow For Trump Administration

Freestyle Olympic skier Gus Kenworthy streamed his protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement this week, seemingly peeing his message in the snow.

“fuck ice,” the yellow message read in a photo Kenworthy shared on Instagram.

Kenworth appeared to confirm in another post that he actually urinated the words.

Kenworthy, who won a silver medal for the United States in 2014 and is competing for Great Britain at the Milan Cortina Games, included a sample script for people to contact their senators and voice their objections to the Trump administration’s immigration policies. He concluded with an impassioned plea.

“Innocent people have been murdered, and enough is enough,” he wrote. “We can’t wait around while ICE continues to operate with unchecked power in our communities. Senators still have leverage right now, and Senator [Name] must use it to demand real guardrails and accountability.”

Democrats are attempting to reform ICE in Congressional negotiations as a shutdown looms for the Department of Homeland Security.

The killing of two people in Minneapolis by federal officers intensified scrutiny on the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown on immigrants.

Several athletes at the Games have criticized the crackdown ― directly and otherwise.

But Kenworthy may be the first to do it with a bodily function.

“My last post was pee so it only felt appropriate to follow it up with a lil’ dump… of photos from January. Yes, I’m a child. 💩,” he wrote in his follow-up.

The IOC appeared to confirm to the Guardian that Kenworthy will not be sanctioned because the organization said it “does not regulate personal social media posts.”

So he’ll be free to compete in the freeski halfpipe at the Games.
