Baku, Azerbaijan - Vice President JD Vance recently shared his thoughts after a handful of US Winter Olympic athletes publicly shared some critical views on the state of politics in America.

On Wednesday, as he was preparing to board Air Force Two to head back to Washington DC, Vance condemned athletes "who pop off about politics," which he claimed "happens every Olympics."

"My advice to them would be to try to bring the country together, and when you're representing the country, you're representing Democrats and Republicans," Vance said.

"You're there to play a sport, and you're there to represent your country and hopefully win a medal," he continued. "You're not there to pop off about politics."

Donald Trump Trump White House desperately tries to squash fears of a midterm blue wave: "Don't be a panican!"

Vance concluded that all US athletes are "doing a great job," but insisted "the way to bring the country together is not by showing up in a foreign country and attacking the president."

His remarks come after multiple Olympians voiced concerns about the current political climate in the US.

President Donald Trump singled out skier Hunter Hess, who said he felt "mixed emotions" about representing the US, as there are things going on that he is "not the biggest fan of."

The president lashed out on social media calling the Olympian "a real loser" for supposedly not wanting to "represent his country," which led to several athletes speaking up to defend Hess.
