Jake Paul is not happy with US Olympian Hunter Hess.
On Friday, Hess went viral on social media after answering a question about some of the unrest in the United States.
“It’s a little hard, there’s obviously a lot going on that I’m not the biggest fan of, and I think a lot of people aren’t,” he added. “Just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the US.”

Hess faced backlash online over his comments.
What you ski with that flag on your arm and run your mouth on the world stage??
Some of us wore that flag on our arm and buried our friends under it.
