Washington Post: Nationals pitcher Sean Doolittle declines White House visit saying he 'just can't do it'
"
Nationals pitcher Sean Doolittle has declined to visit the White House Monday for a ceremony honoring his team's historic World Series win, citing President Donald Trump's rhetoric as the reason he won't attend the celebration.
"There's a lot of things, policies that I disagree with, but at the end of the day, it has more to do with the divisive rhetoric and the enabling of conspiracy theories and widening the divide in this country," Doolittle said in an interview Friday with The Washington Post.
"
What's interesting is, despite the efforts of the Republican party to support Trump, more and more people are starting to treat him like, for lack of better words, a Richard Nixon, as public opinion swings against him.
The article goes on to talk about something which I didn't remember, of Trump criticizing a disabled news reporter (a few years ago apparently).
