Will the left finally learn that people don’t like to be pandered to? Athletes want to win. Athletes want to win.
I guess First Lady Jill Biden thought she was being woke and hip when she said Iowa and LSU should both come to the White House despite LSU winning the women’s basketball national championship.
Angel Reese, named the tournament’s Most Outstanding Player, called the suggestion a joke.
Biden’s press secretary tried to walk it back, insisting Biden meant we should celebrate all women.
Reese isn’t falling for it. Winners are winners:
REESE: “… had a lot of phone calls. And that’s why she wants to come out and apologize. But at the same time — I don’t — I’m not going to lie to you. I don’t accept the apology. Because of — you saw what she said.”UNKNOWN MALE: “Jill — Jill Biden?”REESE: “Yes. President’s wife.”UNKNOWN MALE: “First Lady. The First Lady.” [crosstalk]REESE: “I said what I said. And like, you can’t go back on certain things that you — you say. I mean, you felt like they should’ve came because of sportsmanship, right? They can have that spotlight. We’ll go to the Obamas.”
Reese also thinks Biden wouldn’t have invited LSU if they lost to Iowa:
REESE: “If we were to lose, we would not be getting invited to the White House. And I remember she made a comment about both teams should be invited because it would be — it was supposed to be sportsmanship. And I’m like, are you saying that because of what I did? And what — like that — stuff like that it — it bothers me because you are a woman. At the end of the day, you’re supposed to be standing behind this before anything.”
Good for Reese.
Reese first gained attention for supposedly mocking Iowa’s Caitlin Clark. I thought Clark taunted Reese during the game, but I read it happened during the South Carolina game, but the New York Post says the Louisville game. Either way, Clark did the same thing and didn’t receive the same criticism.
To Clark’s credit, she said Reese doesn’t deserve any criticism and that Iowa shouldn’t go to the White House.
