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."

“I don’t know if she is or not, LSU won the title and Champions get invited to the White House, not who finishes in 2nd place.
The controversy with this young woman is overblown IMO, the Iowa player who is fantastic did the same hand gesture to a South Carolina player in the Semifinals that Angel Reese did to her and then showed her the ring finger indicating where the ring was going and it wasn’t on her hand.
My point is, trash talking is part of the game, if you dish it out, you had better expect it in return, especially when you’re getting your butt kicked which is what LSU was doing to Iowa.”
Can you find that photo or do you always just make stuff up? Clark made no gesture at another players face. She made the gesture to the crowd. Had she done what you claim, she would have been T’d up for taunting. Butt kicked? It was a seven points late in the game with 3 Iowa starters on the bench. Clown on clown.
A lot of team sports champions refused to come to the WH when Trump was in office. Am I supposed to care that a few are going to stand Senile Joe up?
“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”
Keep trying clown. Can you dance too or do you just juggle? Lmao must be an LSU grad trying desperately to defend a player no one will know after she’s done dribbling
Here’s a article and video of her doing the same thing to a South Carolina player but if you want Google Caitlin Clark South Carolina hand gesture, there’s a ton of articles and video
She wants to give Iowa a participation award
Jill should be careful. Joe could go into hair sniffing overload if both teams showed up and stroke out.
Don’t forget Billy Joe Dupree
Jill is President Joe Biden’s wife. /S
Hahahaha you’re calling that equal to what Reece did? She said, hey, I’ll let you shoot. That’s called letting the 20% shooter shoot. Waved her off. If the girl can’t shoot, why guard her? Hahahaha man, keep trying
Reese is a petulant pissant who needs to be b!tich slapped.
She is doing Jill a favor. They didn’t even shake hand at the end of the game. Really bad blood between the two teams. Throughout series both teams showed bad sportmanship.
Keep then coming clown,,,, you’re as entertaining as Reece
My apologies to Billy Joe Dupree. I meant Marcus Dupree
The hand gestures were exactly the same the funny thing is you’re wrong and won’t admit it even though I showed you proof after you said I was making it up
Seems to be a lot of anger in women’s sports lately. NCAAW Basketball needs some of those pretend girls to show them how to behave? :-)
Dance for me too clown...I’m tired of your juggling. You can’t find any hand gesture or anything showing Clark running around after a game sticking her hand in any players face. Lmao...what a joker
News flash - women’s basketball is a joke. Nobody cares. Especially women.
That clip was proof she didn’t get in her face, just like I said...not guarding someone because they suck is part of the game lmao
Trash talking is also part of the game and the gesture was the same , admit it I’m right you’re wrong and none of your excuses will change that
