This Democrat is getting slammed for her coded message about Joe Biden
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.

They could face years behind bars for their alleged harebrained scheme to keep Joe Biden from becoming president.
“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.”

Many people on X considered this a coded message about President Joe Biden. Only a handful of elected Democratic officials have publicly asked Biden to quit the 2024 presidential election after his performance at the first debate with Donald Trump two weeks ago, which many Democrats believed showed that Biden was too old to take on Trump in the fall.
Democratic voters – not just elected officials – are divided on the question of whether Biden should drop out, even though Biden himself has said repeatedly that he is not dropping out of the campaign. Many people believe that Biden dropping out would be disruptive and undemocratic enough to put Trump back in the White House. Biden won the 2024 Democratic primary with millions of votes. Others believe that Vice President Kamala Harris could more easily defeat Trump in November.
On X, Nessel was harshly criticized by the former group.

Ms Nessel, I’m really disappointed with you. I’m a Michigan Voter.— Annette:234567890 (@Annette67055036) July 8, 2024
She tried out and didn’t make the team. It’s not like 15 million people voted for her to be on the team.— MAV14 (@MikeViner14) July 8, 2024
You thought that was cute? You just kicked a hornets nest.— James Ellis (@DrJamesEll26648) July 8, 2024
You should just delete both of these tweets bc they’re an embarrassment & you’re just degrading Alex. #Stop— Amy L. Myers (@thewidow21) July 7, 2024
You’re showing an inability (or an unwillingness) to meet the moment and it is probably best for you to step aside. We can hold a mini-primary of potential successors and have your replacement in place by August.We know you love the work, Dana. We appreciate you. But it’s time.— 14 MILLION PRIMARY VOTES (@bd22198) July 8, 2024
Can someone sue to keep her prospective replacement off the team?— PedsDocMom3000 (@pediadocmom) July 8, 2024
Dude, I was so happy when you won, but Biden is our nominee and I wish you would support him— Bot_1010101 (@Bot_1010101) July 8, 2024
You aren't…is this…I sure hope this is not what I think it is— Miss Me With Your BS (@MThornedyke) July 8, 2024
Can’t wait to vote you out with your passive aggressive tweets. Keep it up. Biden may not have a cult but he does have loyal supporters in MI and we will remember— Andrew Ankrah support (@akankrah) July 8, 2024
STOP IT.— Carbi D (@yourauntifa) July 8, 2024
Cool. You've been great too but I'm not voting for you ever again.— Grievous Kelce (@AB2kGR) July 8, 2024
She didn't have a choice, Dana. You're making it sound like she made the team then had a bunch of talking heads demand she quit to let someone else play.— Elongated Muskrat (@PamBalamm) July 8, 2024
Grow up. Seriously. If you want to say that Biden should step aside, then say it. That’s your right. But this is pathetic and embarrassing.— Ms. Tollhouse (@mstollhouse) July 8, 2024
She wasn’t selected and accepted that. Voters CHOSE Biden.— Vimel Patel (@VimelP) July 8, 2024
This also proves you’re a coward, and you shouldn’t be in charge of protecting the people of Michigan.— James Ellis (@DrJamesEll26648) July 8, 2024
You’re ridiculous.— D (@BreenDelisha) July 8, 2024
She didn’t make the team WTF you talking about. Biden on the other hand got the votes and I’m sure no one wants to disenfranchise us certainly not the MI attorney General.— Marji (@marjikk) July 8, 2024
You’re even more spineless than the other Dems. You can’t even just come out and say it. As a Michigan voter who voted for you twice, you lost my vote for good. Never voting for you if you run for any state office. You’re too feckless to be a leader.— Elon Tusk (@tipsy_mcstaggr) July 7, 2024
