New York Islanders and German national team goaltender Thomas Greiss has apologized for liking several Instagram posts that compared Hillary Clinton to Adolf Hitler during last years U.S. presidential campaign.

Heres one of them, captured by German public broadcaster Deutschlandfunk:

As uncovered by Deutschlandfunk, Griess also liked an Instagram illustration that showed a bearded Donald Trump dressed in Roman garb holding up a Medusa-like image of Clintons decapitated head and a photo of a man wearing a T-shirt that read, Guns dont kill people Clintons do.

I apologize for interacting with several posts that appeared in my timeline, which were wrong to engage with, Greiss said in a team-issued statement to Newsday. Liking these posts was a mistake, and I sincerely apologize again.

Said the Islanders: The New York Islanders do not condone the actions of Thomas Greiss on social media and are addressing the situation internally. And Thomas regrets his actions and recognizes that he made a mistake.

Alfons Hoermann, president of the German Olympic Sports Confederation, said Greiss should not be allowed to play for the national team at the 2018 Olympics (which he probably wasnt going to do anyway after the NHL announced it was pulling its players from the Games). But German Ice Hockey Federation Vice President Marc Hindelang came to Greisss defense.

Its very important to make clear that Thomas Greiss is definitely not a right-wing extremist nor a right-wing populist, he said, per the Associated Press.

Greisss Instagram account is still active and public as of this writing and has 15,000 followers. He did not play in Germanys 3-2 loss to Denmark on Friday at the world championships because of injury.

Hillary Clinton, the 2016 presidential candidate whose failed campaign was rocked by an email scandal and hacking attack, is slated to speak at a conference about digital technology in about two weeks.

She will speak at the 2017 Code Conference in Racho Palos Verdes, Calif., sometime between May 30 and June 1. The announcement was initially made in a Recode article on Friday, playing up what is "likely to be an epic interview" which it appears will touch on the 2016 election.

"Fake news? Check! Email problems? Check! FBI controversy? Check! Russian hackers? Check! The impact of tech on jobs? Check! The state of our very divided union? Double check!!" the piece from Recode's Kara Swisher writes.

"There's no bigger story right now than our fractured political landscape, including for the tech and media sector," Swisher says, adding that "there's no better person to talk about that" than Clinton with her 40 years in public service. Diversity will also be discussed, the article notes.

The conference is an annual affair held by the founders of Recode, a technology news website. Pegged as "the most prestigious event in tech and media," the invitation-only conference "was created to bring together a global community of the biggest names in the business, executive leaders and startups with bright futures for networking and in-depth conversations about the current and future impact of digital technology," the event page reads.

It also boasts that tech industry "luminaries" such as Elon Musk, Sheryl Sandberg, Jeff Bezos and Bill and Melinda Gates appeared at the 2016 edition and this year will, along with tech leaders, feature the likes of Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards, and New York Times editor Dean Baquet.

Clinton's speaker profile description talks about her several decades in public service, including being a senator from New York and secretary of state. It also mentions her "historic presidential campaign" which she conceded to Barack Obama in 2008 and her second try eight years later.

"In 2016, Clinton became the first woman nominated for president by a major U.S. political party, and won the national popular vote, earning the support of nearly 66 million Americans. She is the author of five best-selling books, including It Takes a Village," the description concludes. It makes no mention of Donald Trump, who won the Electoral College and became president.

Hillary Clinton slated for 'epic' interview at tech conference - Washington Examiner

To the editor: Perhaps its because Doyle McManus column was published the day after the firing of former FBI Director James Comey; or its because of the passing by the House of a so-called Obamacare replacement that will really hurt women, children and families; or its because of the clarity of what exactly happened in the Russian meddling in our election that favored one unqualified male candidate over an overqualified female candidate who has dedicated her entire life to public service; but another opinion piece on why Hillary Clinton shouldnt run again by another male writer is a bridge too far for me and millions of people who supported her.

How would a male candidate get over an election that had transpired in such a way? I suppose McManus thinks we should all just get over it. Sorry, not this time.

To the editor: In the immediate aftermath of the most devastating loss in 240 years of presidential politics, a loss where the inevitable was defeated by the deplorable, Clinton went for a sojourn in the woods around her home, the same home where a private email server once gathered dust and state secrets.

I had hoped that she might find some anonymity while she searched for the meaning of the rest of her life, but alas, shes back and apparently without a lick of newfound wisdom.

Instead of meditating on her deficiencies, she is singing the Comey blues. Although a majority of white women chose to grasp the small hands of a genital-grabber by voting for him, Clinton focuses on misogyny as one reason she lost.

In the spirit of forgiveness and with the recognition that all this electoral losing addles the idle mind, I urge that we forgive the dissembling and wish Clinton well.
