Self-Described “America’s Sweetheart” (GAG!) And VP Pence Hater Flip-Flops On NBC Gig

Adam Rippon has (sadly) made his entire Olympic experience about how much he HAAAAATES Vice President Pence for subjecting gay people to “conversion therapy.”

This isn’t the case.

VP Pence offered to sit down and have a conversation with him… which he refused.

The Trump Derangement Syndrome crowd just LOOOVED that, because it’s SO COOL to refuse to have an adult conversation about your disagreements and misunderstandings!

He then called HIMSELF and “icon” and “America’s Sweetheart” …F’real.

So OF COURSE NBC decided they wanted to hire him on as a correspondent. OF COURSE.

AAAAnyway. America’s Sweetheart changed his mind. Try not to cry.

According to Daily Mail:

NBC was left reeling Monday after skating star Adam Rippon pulled the plug on becoming their face of the Olympics.

The broadcaster had planned to propel the bronze medallist, who has come out as gay, to prime time TV stardom after seeing that he had become a bit hit with viewers and trended worldwide as number one on Twitter.

The first sign that NBC had failed to pull off its coup came at the Gangneung Ice Arena, where Rippon had won his bronze, failed to appear on screens as part of its ice dancing coverage team.

Skating anchor Terry Gannon confirmed he had not been officially told of Rippon’s hiring and was confused.

As he came off air from broadcasting live today at the skating rink, he told DailyMail.com: ‘I just read that he was joining NBC like everyone else this morning. Nobody has told us anything.

‘But now you’re telling me his saying he is not going to be doing it (presenting). I’m sorry. I don’t know anything about that either.’

Awwwwwkwaaaard!

Anyway… Rippon announced he WASN’T taking the gig on Twitter last night:

WHATEVER SHALL WE DOOOOOO??!!??!?!?!

Don’t worry. I’m sure we haven’t heard the last of him.
