Angel Reese wasn’t exactly appreciative of Jill Biden’s invite to the White House. The recently crowned national champion responded to the First Lady’s wish to have both the Lady Tigers and Hawkeyes visit the White House with two words and laughing emojis.
“I know we’ll have the champions come to the White House, we always do,” Biden said Monday in Denver, a day after seeing Reese and LSU’s win at American Airlines Center in Dallas in person. “So, we hope LSU will come. But, you know, I’m going to tell Joe I think Iowa should come, too, because they played such a good game.”
“A JOKE,” Reese wrote in a quote-tweet.
It is not currently known if President Joe Biden will invite Iowa to the White House because losing teams never get that opportunity.
The team might get that chance after Angel Reese took to Instagram and made it known that the LSU Tigers will not be showing up to the White House.
Reese has been at the center of controversy after she taunted Iowa’s Caitlin Clark toward the end of the game, waving her hand across her face a la John Cena’s “You can’t see me” move. Clark had done the same against Louisville in the Hawkeye’s Elite Eight win. Reese followed Clark around the court doing the move while also pointing to her ring finger.
After the game, Reese did not offer an apology as she defended herself against the criticism.
“I’m happy. All year, I was critiqued about who I was,” she explained. “The narrative – I don’t fit the narrative. I don’t fit the box you all want me to be in. I’m too hood. I’m too ghetto. You told me that all year,” she said.
Reese also said Clark is “a hell of a player for sure, but I don’t take disrespect lightly,” referring to Clark waving her hand at the South Carolina player during the semifinal.
Reese was named the NCAA Tournament’s Most Outstanding Player following her 15-point, 10-rebound national championship, which was the first in LSU history.
