Figure skater Adam Rippon has been having a one-sided feud with Vice President Mike Pence, seemingly due to Pence’s Christian faith and his religious stance on gay marriage. Rippon, who is the first openly gay man to medal for the U.S. in the Winter Olympics, has also criticized Pence for supporting President Donald Trump. In other interviews, Rippon talked about why he doesn’t want to be defined as a gay athlete or have his Olympic experience be all about Pence. So which is it? Doc and Jeffy have some thoughts about this contradiction.

To see more from Doc, visit his channel on TheBlaze and listen live to “The Morning Blaze with Doc Thompson” weekdays 6–9am ET, only on TheBlaze Radio Network.
