Alysa Liu tackles climate change in between ice skating
Liu becomes US favorite after winning gold medal in figure skating at 2026 Winter Olympics Olympics. Of all the athletes who didn’t immediately fawn over Trump he asked Explaining what they think about the problems in their own country, MAGA especially adopted Liu as America’s elected representative.
Many now seem filled with regrets. It turns out that the woman, who came from an immigrant family, thought immigrants should have rights too.
“I think immigrants who come from immigrant families deserve rights,” he said. February interview.
This makes sense on some level, but the MAGA people were either not paying attention or had fallen into a place of denial that wouldn’t survive a more recent interview.

talk with Rolling stone On Saturday, Liu made clear where he and his family stand.
“Our family is pretty liberal, thanks to my dad,” he said.
“Me and my family would go to protests… A lot of climate-related stuff, but mostly election-related stuff, Black Lives Matter, Stop Asian Hate, ICE protests. A lot of things.”
He is also in favor of things like fighting for what is right, speaking out, and “basic human rights.” You know, standard leftist terror campaigns.
The right wing started slamming harder than the Olympic skater on Friday the 13th.
As these clips went viral on X, specifically on X, some users tried to spread the lie that the Black Lives Matter movement was attacking Stop Asian Hate protests. Alysa Liu probably already knows it’s wrong and won’t be able to see her comments either, but they kept yelling at her moving image.

“Once again, we don’t care because he didn’t bring the woke BS to the Olympic arena himself,” he claimed. “He represented the flag and adorned himself with the flag after winning the gold medal, so frankly he’s still ahead of most of the Left when it comes to patriotism.”
Meanwhile, Liu’s men are busy boasting.
“MAGA really thought this girl was one of them,” he said @emkenobi.
“Conservatives have hyped him up endlessly, and now they learn he grew up participating in BLM, climate, and Stop Asian Hate protests.” @cryptiq0 summarized. “Strange.”
