U.S. Women’s Soccer Stars Won’t Go To White House, So Pelosi Makes Announcement

With U.S. Women’s Soccer star and outspoken Trump critic Megan Rapinoe having preemptively rejected any invite to go to the “f***ing White House,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi made a big announcement on Monday: Congress is formally inviting the Wold Cup-winning team to be honored on Capitol Hill.

“House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wrote to colleagues Monday that ‘by popular demand on both sides of the aisle,’ she has invited the players to the Capitol ‘to celebrate their inspiring victory,'” CBS News reported Monday. “Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said he, too, has invited them as he lauded them on the Senate floor for their ‘sustained level of excellence.'”
