During a call with the gold medal-winning U.S. men's hockey team, President Trump joked about inviting the women's team to the White House, saying 'I must tell you, we're gonna have to bring the women's team, you do know that.' The comment prompted laughter in the locker room.
Swayman, speaking in Boston, acknowledged the team's reaction: 'We should have reacted differently. We know that.' Five members of the men's team declined Trump's invitation to his State of the Union address, while the women's team had previously snubbed the president's offer to attend the speech.
