LSU star Angel Reese said Friday she would visit the White House with her team days after suggesting the Tigers would visit the Obamas instead.
"I know we’ll have the champions come to the White House, we always do," Biden said in Denver on Monday via ESPN."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."
Vanessa Valdivia, the first lady’s press secretary, clarified her remarks on Tuesday, saying the first lady"intended to applaud the historic game and all women athletes." Angel Reese, #10 of the LSU Lady Tigers, reacts during the fourth quarter against the Iowa Hawkeyes during the 2023 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament championship game at American Airlines Center on April 2, 2023 in Dallas."I'm not gonna lie to you, I don't accept the apology because of, you said what you said. ... I said what I said. And like, you can't go back on certain things that you say," Reese said Tuesday on the"Paper Route" podcast.
