The U.S. women's soccer team's star forward Megan Rapinoe told reporters Monday that the team would be “very happy to accept” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s invitation to come to Capitol Hill to celebrate their victory and discuss equal pay legislation.

“What the #USWNT did was extraordinary, and they deserve to be compensated fairly,” Schumer, D-N.Y., tweeted on Monday. “All women need to be compensated fairly. Period. And we ought to pay attention to this not just once every four years during the World Cup, but year-in and year-out.”

Earlier, Monday, during remarks on the Senate floor, Schumer invited the team to the Senate to celebrate the historic victory in the 2019 Women’s World Cup. He also called on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to bring legislation up for a vote that would ensure all women earn equal pay.

Can the minority leader invite somebody without permission of the majority leader?

if they are a democrat- they can do whatever they want- they are above rules and regulations- only republicans are expected to obey rules- or else all hell breaks loose

Equal Pay gals?

So they support the idea that on a soccer team should make the same amount of money as a woman working at Starbucks? That kind of equal? Cause, in theory all they do is kick balls around on some field, big deal. Its not like they do anything productive.

Lets see if they support that kind of equal pay

I’m not seeing a lot of diversity on that team. Racists maybe?

The spikey dyke’s jersey number is 15, as in “Your 15 minutes are up.”

Buh bye, Miss Not Even A Footnote In History.

>> Why does she get to speak for the team.

A question no doubt many Americans are asking.

She’s a selfish jackass that really doesn’t give a shit about the team. It’s all about her.

i probably shouldn’t take joy in this, but you know how her life will turn out. It MUST turn out that way as she is bitter and hateful at such a young age.

A HARD and ANGRY and BITTER life awaits her.

Good.
