Basketball star Angel Reese says she doesn’t care that Jill Biden has apologized for her insulting proposal to have the University of Iowa join NCAA champs LSU in a visit to the White House: She’d rather visit the Obama family instead. “[Iowa] can have that spotlight. We’ll go to the Obamas,” Reese, 20, said on the I Am Athlete podcast. “I’m gonna see Michelle. I’m gonna see Barack.” Reese, who led her Tigers to a convincing win over Iowa on Sunday, said the first lady’s bizarre idea “bothers her,” insinuating a similar proposal would have never been made for the second-place finishers of a men’s sport. “It bothers me because you’re a woman at the end of the day, and you’re supposed to be standing behind us before anything,” Reese said. “I’m not going to lie to you. I don’t accept the apology. You said what you said.”
