Todd Starnes: Figure skating snowflake on thin ice with me after Pence Olympics comments
Adam Rippon
Adam Rippon  the 2016 U.S. menâs figure skating champion   had an outburst â telling USA Today  he  would prefer not to shake the vice presidentâs hand before the opening ceremony.
 Mr. Rippon  is believed to be the first openly gay Winter Olympian â and  he  took great umbrage at the vice presidentâs devout Christian faith.
âYou mean Mike Pence  the same Mike Pence that funded gay conversion therapy?â  Rippon  snarled. âIâm not buying it.â
âI donât think he has a real concept of reality â  Mr. Rippon  said. âTo stand by some of the things that Donald Trump has said and for Mike Pence to say heâs a devout Christian man is completely contradictory. If heâs OK with whatâs being said about people and Americans and foreigners and about different countries that are being called âs***holes â I think he should really go to church.â
Sadly   Mr. Rippon  did not bother to do  his  homework before attacking the vice president. It turns out  he  has long been adamant  he  never supported conversion therapy.
 Adam Rippon  may know how to land a triple axel  but when it comes to civility and grace   he âs skating on thin ice.
