But if Heels-up Harris were in office, I’m sure they’d accept in a heartbeat.

The men’s team should be at the SOTUA. The left attacked Kash celebrating with the men, which will crater Democrats with men of all races even more.

He joked about it in the phone call with the men’s team. He said something along the lines of, “I’ll have to invite the women’s team or they will impeach me.” Frankly, I’m sure Trump would have been happy to have the women’s team as his guests at the State of the Union Address.

I wonder if the dems will refuse to applaud when he acknowledges the men’s team. Are they planning to have their ping pong paddles this time?

Maybe Hillary can invite them to a private reception at the Clinton Foundation & Hot Tub.
