Adam Rippon: 'My mom would kill me' if I talked to women the way Trump does

BY MORGAN GSTALTER - 03/12/18 12:02 PM EDT

Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon criticized President Trump, saying his mother would have killed him if he spoke to women the way the president does.

While responding to a question on whether the Bronze medalist would visit the White House, Rippon said he did not think he would accept a visit to the White House and noted the way Trump has treated women.

"If Donald Trump spoke to my sister or my mother the way he has spoken about other women, I mean, I just wouldn't tolerate it," Rippon told MSNBC's Kasie Hunt on Sunday.

“If I or any of my mom’s sons spoke to women or treated people the way that Donald Trump has, my mom would kill me and I would be dead,” Rippon added. “And this would be a profile of my life, not me giving an interview because I would be dead.”

The 28-year-old figure skater made headlines by speaking out against Vice President Pence leading the U.S. delegation to the Olympic Games.

Of course, I don't think Mrs. Trump would have killed her beloved son because she shared his misogynistic views.
