Jenna Ellis, the former campaign legal adviser to Donald Trump who unsuccessfully tried to help him overturn the results of the 2020 election, has been widely mocked on Twitter for blasting athletes Simone Biles and Megan Rapinoe as “losers”.
Ellis, who besides her legal work is now a contributor to Newsmax, took to Twitter to comment on Biles and Rapinoe being amongst the latest figures to receive the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
At a ceremony yesterday, President Joe Biden presented the medals to Biles and Rapinoe, along with around a dozen others. Apple’s Steve Jobs and Senator John McCain were granted the medals posthumously.

Biles is one of the most accomplished gymnasts of all time. She has also become an advocate for mental health awareness. Last year, she also testified on Capitol Hill about Larry Nassar, the former USA Gymnastics doctor convicted of sexually assaulting women and girls.
How about we take this to the next level?

Soccer player Rapinoe is an Olympic gold medalist and World Cup champion. Gay, she is also an advocate for LGBTQ rights.
In her tweet, Ellis said, “Fittingly, Biden awarded his presidential medals to fellow losers, Biles and Rapinoe.”

Many were quick to point out Ellis’ own list of non-accomplishments.
Simone Biles won 19 World Championship Golds, 4 Olympic Golds and is the most decorated gymnast in US history. Megan Rapinoe won 2 World Cups, an Olympic Gold and was named Best Player in the World in 2019.
You lost 63 lawsuits and got farted on by Rudy Giuliani.

Megan Rapinoe also won a lawsuit against the US Soccer Foundation for their unequal pay practices…
… which is one more lawsuit than Jenna Ellis has won in the last 6 years 😐

As opposing to awarding medal to total winner Jim Jordan?

The lawyer who went 1-71 in court, whose only accomplishment in the last 6 years is getting farted on by Rudy Giuliani, is calling gold medal winners & world champions losers.
Alex can I have “People Who Are Completely Lacking In Self Awareness” for 500?

Oh honey.
Neither of these women went from being an attorney to hocking My Pillow on social media. Interesting career move @JennaEllisEsqhttps://t.co/iK334iZuLG— Snowcat Tish (@SnowcatTish) July 8, 2022

Rather than take a moment for self-reflection or deleting her tweet, Ellis doubled down and gleefully said later, “Leftists are big mad at this tweet.” This elicited further mockery and pity.
My grandparents were highly respected leaders in the evangelical community and, like most of my family, lifelong conservative Republicans…many of my close friends are as well.
Not a one of them have ever exhibited your lever of hate. I genuinely feel sorry for you.

UPDATE
Simone Biles responded to Ellis’ Tweet with one of her own: “Who is Jenna Ellis? Asking for everyone,” she said. Biles’ tweet has had over 200k likes, at the time of writing.

I have minor issues with both women, but can’t deny their huge accomplishments and they are well deserving of the medal.
I have issues with most people, but coexist happily. (Most of you would agree I have issues period.) This is an example of how divided we’ve become when we can’t set aside differences to celebrate real accomplishments. Not sure how we’re gong to fix this, but I sure hope we figure it out.

Exactly. How “Pro-America” are they when they not only refuse to celebrate an American Olympic Gold Medalist but do everything in their power to spew venom at American icons who inspire millions.
Pure evil to the core.

Totally not surprised that you have issues with women. As for fixing things, start by giving up misogyny. Cheers.

Damn leftists and their…
*shuffling papers*
…Olympic athletes!

Simone and Megan deserve the medal because . . . . .
And I thought Trump was demeaning this honor with whom he chose to give it to.
Bosch
It’s very common for athletes to receive this medal, during every presidency.
Mister P
I can choose to celebrate the accomplishments of others.
Let it begin with me.

They would most certainly have rancid tweets about Jesus were he to walk the earth today and post his views on social media.

The last time someone calling someone a loser effectively was in Shaun of the Dead… When Pete told Shaun he kept Ed around so he would be thought more of a loser.
