- Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk called Biles “a shame to the country” and said it was proof that “we are raising a generation of weak people.”
- British Trump fan Piers Morgan called Biles “a joke” for withdrawing and “kids need strong role models, not this nonsense” that they’re getting from a four-time Olympic Gold Medal winner.
- Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire said Biles’ decision to quit was akin to NBA legend Michael Jordan quitting on the eve of a Game 7 of the NBA finals — despite the fact that Jordan actually did quit basketball while still in his prime after the murder of his father.

“After four-time Olympic Gold Medal winner Simone Biles dropped out of the final individual all-around competition at the Tokyo Olympic Games, she was greeted with an outpouring of support from her fans.
Some conservative media men, however, were not sympathetic to Biles’s situation and decided to make her withdrawal from the competition into their latest culture war lament about America growing “weak” compared to its past glories.
Conservative Clay Travis appeared on Fox News Tuesday night and implied that Biles had never learned how to “overcome moments of discomfort and challenges that arise during the course of athletics,” despite the fact that she has been competing on the world stage for years and has won four Olympic gold medals.
Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, meanwhile, went even further and called Biles “a shame to the country” and said it was proof that “we are raising a generation of weak people.”
Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire also tore into Biles and said her decision to quit was akin to NBA legend Michael Jordan quitting on the eve of a Game 7 of the NBA finals — despite the fact that Jordan actually did quit basketball while still in his prime after the murder of his father.
British TV personality and one-time Trump fan Piers Morgan called Biles “a joke” for withdrawing and lamented that “kids need strong role models, not this nonsense” that they’re getting from a four-time Olympic Gold Medal winner…”
