Former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said there “is no in-between” when it comes to Olympic athletes choosing to represent certain countries and that “you’re standing for freedom or you’re standing for human rights abuses.”Haley’s remarks, made during an interview with Real Clear Politics published Tuesday, specifically targeted Eileen Gu – a U.S.-born Olympic skier who participated in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics on behalf of her mother’s homeland of China.“In terms of the citizenship, look, China or the U.S.? You have got to pick a side. Period,” Haley told the outlet. “You’ve got to pick a side because you’re either American or you’re Chinese, and they are two very different countries. … Every athlete needs to know when they put their flag on, you’re standing for freedom or you’re standing for human rights abuses. There is no in-between.”
