We are more than our jobs or our political parties. We are united. We are all, first and foremost, Team USA.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Biden did not address the several members of Team USA who are likely to engage in political protest during the games. Instead, she said that Olympic athletes \u201cbring us together in a way that little else can. You remind us that with dedication, hard work, courage and teamwork, incredible things are possible.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite being vaccinated against COVID-19, Biden chose to keep her distance from American Olympic athletes, speaking virtually to the flag-bearers and several select members of Team USA, according to The Hill.<\/p>\n<p>Biden appeared Friday night at the \u201cmuted\u201d Olympic opening ceremonies, standing by herself in one of the billion-dollar stadium\u2019s outdoor boxes, wearing a mask.<\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
