U.S. women’s soccer co-captain Megan Rapinoe revealed in a recent interview that she thinks her father voted for President Donald Trump during the 2016 election, something she, as a staunch progressive, has a hard time understanding.
“I’m very similar to how they are,” she said, referring to her parents, “even though I think my dad voted for Trump and I’ll say: ‘I don’t get it. How are you simultaneously as proud as punch of me, and watching Fox News all the time, [who are doing] takedowns of your daughter?’ That’s why I’m like: ‘You guys need to go to therapy,’” Rapinoe, 34, said in the interview with the Guardian when asked about the origins of her politics.
