Cristiano Ronaldo's visit to the White House this week drew the ire of a former sports pundit turned political commentator.

Keith Olbermann, who has been loudly critical of President Donald Trump and other Republicans, took to X early Wednesday morning to hurl an insult at the soccer legend.

"Crawl with fascist scumbags and you've become a fascist scumbag," Olbermann posted, sharing the selfie Ronaldo took with Elon Musk, Gianni Infantino, Georgina Rodriguez and others.

Ronaldo, who plays for Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, was at the White House dinner for the Saudi crown prince. It was the first time Ronaldo had been in the United States in nearly 10 years. His current two-year contract is reportedly worth around $400 million.

"My son is a big fan of Ronaldo," Trump said during a speech to a group that included Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Apple CEO Tim Cook. "And Barron got to meet him, and I think he respects his father a little bit more now that I’ve introduced you. Thank you for being here, it’s an honor."

Ronaldo has also shared how he feels about Trump, recently saying during an interview with Piers Morgan that Trump is "one of the guys that can help to change the world."
