Mike Pence has dismissed reports the first openly gay US Olympian rejected an invitation to meet him in protest against his position on homosexuality. The Vice President claimed he had never extended an invitation to Adam Rippon, the 2016 US men’s figure skating champion, and labelled reports “fake news”. According to USA Today, a member of Mr Pence’s staff contacted the US Olympic Committee to arrange a meeting between the 58-year-old politician and 28-year-old athlete back in January.
