The USA women’s hockey team appeared to take a subtle dig at Donald Trump during a Saturday Night Live segment featuring captain Hilary Knight and teammate Megan Keller — and the moment quickly went viral. Team USA made history at the Milan-Cortina Olympics by completing a clean sweep of hockey gold medals in both the men’s and women’s tournaments. The men defeated Canada 2-1 to win their first Olympic gold in 46 years, while the women secured a 2-1 overtime victory, with Keller scoring the decisive goal.
Following the men’s win, Trump congratulated the team by phone and invited them to attend his State of the Union address. During the call, he joked: “We’re going to have to bring the women’s team… I do believe I probably would be impeached [if they weren’t invited].” The comment drew criticism. While expressing gratitude for the invitation, the women’s team later declined to attend due to scheduling and professional commitments.
