Put me in the camp that just hates how everything is about politics these days. People on these stations/podcasts getting so worked up about Trump it just takes all the air out of the room, I mean I thought this was a hockey chat but I guess not.
I actually didn't mind what Frank said at all, kinda seemed to me like they were looking to get some more clicks and just kept pushing him to defend Trump and he.. didn't really.
A Canadian station tripling down on how much they dislike Trump like wtf? That's not the kind of hockey show I'm looking for personally. Keep it about sports. There's enough podcasts out there talking about politics.

They asked him about his own statement which addressed the politicization of the USA Men's Gold Medal win. It's not like they were foaming at the mouth to make it political.
And he absolutely defended Trump. He just does it in that cowardly way we see here all the time: deflecting a question with a hypothetical. And when the hosts didn't respond the way he wanted or acquiesced to his hair-brained rhetoric he short circuited. And, as with all these closeted Trumpers, he acted like a victim.
They didn't once "bash" Trump. They just wanted Frank to admit that none of this is normal, so to treat and address it as such is just as absurd as the reality of the situation. The only one that got worked up was Frank because he doesn't have the capacity to think outside of the box of sound bites and Tweets.
If you want to keep it about sports then maybe have a chat with Guerin and his group of ass-kissers that invited and fully embraced Kash Patel in the locker room then laughed alongside a sexist pig when he made a joke about women's hockey.
