(Patrick Smith\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h5>OAN Newsroom<br \/>UPDATED 7:40 PM PT \u2013 Thursday, July 8, 2021<\/h5>\n<p>House Republicans have expressed their concerns about U.S. Olympic athletes protesting against America. A group of 39 Republicans recently penned a letter to the U.S. Olympic committee, urging them to enforce rules in the international Olympic charter. Thus, prohibiting political expression.<\/p>\n<p>The letter\u2019s signees included Reps. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas), Madison Cawthorn (R-N.C.) and Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.). \u201cWe are deeply concerned by the growing trend of American athletes taking advantage of the international platform afforded by the Olympic Games to perpetuate divisive, hateful and anti-American ideologies,\u201d the lawmakers said in the letter.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">She does not represent America. <\/p>\n<p>She represents the hateful left. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VkAXhcfHMn\">https:\/\/t.co\/VkAXhcfHMn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Rep.

Meanwhile, the White House has continued to side with the anti-American athletes.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans have said they hope all athletes representing America at the Olympic Games do so patriotically. \u201cIt is our hope that members of the U.S. Olympic Team stop abusing their platform to spout shameful anti-American rhetoric,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/hhs-secy-defends-joe-bidens-door-to-door-vaccine-push\/\">HHS Secy.
