The Libs Are Coming for ... America's Sweetheart

From America’s Sweetheart to the libs enemy list.

That’s where American hero gymnast Mary Lou Retton, who turns 56 on Tuesday, finds herself after facing death in the fall after battling what her family is calling a rare form of pneumonia. When the public first found out about Mary Lou’s battle, it was also revealed by her daughters that their mother was uninsured.

At that time, the libs, who have no problem with hundreds of thousands of uninsured illegals pouring over the Mexican border, were livid. How dare Mary Lou not have insurance, they screamed on social media.

Now that Mary Lou has survived and appears ready to get on with life, albeit with an oxygen tank and looking like she’s in her mid-60s, the libs want blood and they appear ready to destroy the gold medalist darling because her family won’t disclose what they did with financial donations that were sent to Mary Lou to pay for her medical bills.

[Good Lord. People kick into these GoFundMe-style operations voluntarily. If they didn’t want to assist Retton and trust her to use the funds wisely, they wouldn’t have donated. It’s not as if Retton wasn’t really ill and in real need of the assistance either; she just didn’t need as much as she received. Retton and her family are pledging to donate the remainder to charity, but it’s really none of anyone’s business what they do with it or where and when they do it. Can’t we just be happy that a woman who gave so much joy to Americans over the years has mostly recovered from her health crisis, and that Americans pitched in when she needed them? — Ed]
