LSU star Angel Reese called a suggestion from first lady Jill Biden that they might invite both LSU and Iowa's women's basketball teams to the White House "A JOKE" on Monday.
Speaking on Monday, Biden congratulated both teams on their performance in Sunday's national championship game, as well as specifically highlighting Iowa's sportsmanship.
"Last night I attended the NCAA women's basketball championship," said Biden, while speaking at an event at the Colorado State Capitol in Denver.
We will invite the winner to the White House, we always do. So, we hope LSU will come but, you know, I'm going to tell Joe [Biden] I think Iowa should come, too, because they played such a good game."
It is traditional for the national champions to be invited to the White House, but not for the runners-up. Reese tweeted a link to the story which included Biden's comments, calling it "A JOKE" along with three rolling-on-floor-laughing emojis.
In a comment on an Instagram post which included Reese's tweet, the recently crowned NCAA champion said: "WE NOT COMING. period."

When they interview players it’s time to change the channel. Most of them can’t put a sentence together.
Former NFL players who graduated, despite being functionally illiterate.
VERY spoiled young woman
Actually, I thought that Dr Jill was an old lady?
Yes. The sense of entitlement is strong with this one.
Fake Doc Jill has spoken.
Guess even Joe’s not into sniffing Nappy hair.
What we gonna do?
Interesting that usually the White boys don’t seem to have a problem.
Possibly under the influence of hash oil.
Back around 2005 we got a new admin assistant in my office fresh out of University of Clemson. She mentioned one time that while in college she was a tutor for the football players.
I asked her how much help did they usually need.....her reply “make no mistake the tutors do ALL the work for the football players”.....when you boil it down it’s all about the almighty dollar.
Hopefully they will go play in Russia.
Our periods are not coming???
The college president should declare “We ain’t be going.”
The Iowa gals were all class, including their coach. LSU players, including coach, no class.
I noticed that the winning UCONN men’s team didn’t have a single female-who-identifies-as-male on the roster. Shouldn’t the Aiden Hale-types be able to contribute their superior athletic abilities to ensure victories? Since they’re so good ‘n stuff?
But they lost and should not be invited to the White House, the one Iowa player was every bit as classless is the LSU player. If you trash talk like the Iowa player was you should expect it in return especially when you’re getting your butt kicked
The players know it is bull shiite and political. This NO HAD to come from a Black player so the slimes could not claim racism.
This young women did us all a favor.
I don’t have a dog in the fight between the teams, I’m just amused that the LSU women may refuse the invitation to Joe Biden’s White House. Plus, it is a dopey suggestion. Runner-ups don’t get honored at the White House, champions do. Iowa lost by 17 points. Are you telling me that justifies breaking with tradition and inviting them to the White House? I would probably take offense too.
Go figure, four white gals and one black gal with Caitlin Clark arguably the best women’s college basketball player ever. And she’s only a junior...
