Days after U.S. women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe said she isn’t “going to the fucking White House” if her team wins the World Cup, she has accepted an invitation to a different house: the U.S. House of Representatives. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tweeted out an invite Friday to Rapinoe and the rest of the USWNT to tour the the House of Representatives. Rapinoe responded, “Consider it done.” Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) also joined in, writing that the “food and company will be much better.” The tour will have to wait a few weeks though, as the USWNT is set to play England in the Women’s World Cup semi-final on July 2.
It may not be the White House, but we’d be happy to welcome @mPinoe & the entire #USWMNT for a tour of the House of Representatives anytime they’d like. 🇺🇸 https://t.co/ccgqE8vCds
