A Florida govt official proposed moving the Tokyo Summer Olympics to Florida, which qualifies as an ignorant proposition. But it came up at the White House press briefing today where @PressSec referred a reporter to the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee

USOPC: “We were not made aware of the letter to President Bach in advance. We invite American cities to indicate to us their interest in hosting a future Olympic and Paralympic Games, and we are happy to work with them through the education and fact-finding process.”

More USOPC: “We stand in support of the Tokyo Organizing Committee and Japanese government who have given more than seven years of focus and dedication to welcoming the athletes of the world, and honor their efforts to host a safe and successful Games this summer.”
