Some Democrats are outraged at out Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel (D) for a message she posted about the Olympics that many believe was a “coded” message about President Joe Biden.

Alex Morgan is a soccer player who played on the U.S. Olympic team in 2012 in London, 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, and 2021 in Tokyo but didn’t make the team for this year’s games in Paris.

“Today, I’m disappointed about not having the opportunity to represent our country on the Olympic stage,” Morgan posted to social media. “This will always be a tournament that is close to my heart and I take immense pride any time I put on the crest.”

“In less than a month, I look forward to supporting this team and cheering them on alongside the rest of our country. LFG [let’s freakin’ go].”

Quite a few people responded to her post by calling it a “snub” and “disrespect” to leave her off the Olympic team, but Nessel had a different point of view.

“I adore Alex Morgan,” Nessel wrote. “One of the greatest of all time. But she’s aged significantly from her prime playing days & gracefully accepted that in order to win the gold it was time to pass the baton.”

Morgan is 35.

“No one will ever forget her incredible accomplishments, but Alex just wants what’s best for the team and for America. That’s what makes her a true champion.”
