Donald Trump Jr. is weighing in on Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon’s [recent remarks](http://time.com/5144266/adam-rippon-mike-pence-olympics/) about Vice President Mike Pence.

President Donald Trump’s son tweeted a link to a story from The Hill with the headline, “Adam Rippon: I don’t want my Olympic experience to be ‘about Mike Pence.'” Trump Jr. commented in the tweet “Really? Then Perhaps you shouldn’t have spent the past few weeks talking about him. I haven’t heard him mention you once???”

> [](https://twitter.com/DonaldJTrumpJr/status/963575342391873536)

However, Trump Jr. may be forgetting a couple of [tweets Pence posted just last week](http://time.com/5139247/mike-pence-adam-rippon/) mentioning Rippon, where he said the skater should remain focused on winning the gold at the PyeongChang Games.

> [](https://twitter.com/VP/status/961466229671284736)

> [](https://twitter.com/VP/status/961465775444971521)

Rippon and his team have also said that [Pence requested to speak with Rippon](http://time.com/5143135/adam-rippon-mike-pence/), which Pence has denied. Rippon reportedly said [he was not interested](http://time.com/5140566/adam-rippon-mike-pence-twitter-olympics/), especially in light of Pence’s support for anti-LGBT legislation. Rippon became the first openly gay athlete to [qualify](http://time.com/5134101/adam-rippon-winter-olympics-2018/) for the Winter Olympics for the United States, before Gus Kenworthy — who [came out after the 2014 winter games](http://time.com/4083587/olympic-skier-gus-kenworthy-gay/) — also qualified this year.


Rippon has not directly responded to Trump Jr., but in a recent tweet brushed off the non-skating coverage he’s been getting.
