Liberals ruin everything. The latest case in point is First Lady Jill Biden’s crazy dumb remarks made after the LSU women’s basketball team won the national championship Sunday night. LSU defeated Iowa 102-85. Biden was at the game at American Airlines Center in Dallas.
On Monday in Denver, Biden said that the game was a good one. Then her remarks went sideways. She said the LSU team would get an invitation to the White House, as championship teams do. Then she said she is going to tell The Big Guy that he should invite the Iowa team, too. That’s right – Jill Biden wants both the winning and the losing team to get an invitation to visit the White House.
“I know we’ll have the champions come to the White House, we always do,” Biden, who was at American Airlines Center in Dallas to witness LSU’s win, 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.”
That’s not how this works. The winning team gets the honor. It’s a perk of winning a championship. This isn’t middle school soccer where everyone gets a participation trophy. This championship is the first for LSU in basketball, for either the women’s or men’s team. It’s a big deal for the university. Jill Biden just stomped all over the team’s accomplishment.
There is also a racial element to this story. Isn’t there a racial element to every story? The LSU star player, Angel Reese, is black. She was doing a little trash-talking to the star Iowa player, Caitlin Clark, who is white and the national player of the year. Reese used hand gestures as it became apparent that LSU would win the game. Reese was copying the same gestures that Clark has previously made.
Reese has been a talking point since the Tigers beat the Hawkeyes as her taunt toward the national player of the year, Iowa’s Caitlin Clark, while LSU was on the verge of winning it all saw fellow athletes, media personalities and fans of the game choosing sides.
Reese did John Cena’s famous “You can’t see me” move by waving her hand across her face while staring at Clark. That was Reese’s response to Clark doing the same move during the Elite Eight game against Louisville.
Reese followed Clark around the court doing the move while also pointing to her ring finger, referencing the diamonds she will receive, along with her Tigers teammates, for winning the title.
Afterward, Reese was criticized for her behavior. Others called it racism. Why was Reese being criticized when Clark wasn’t when she did the very same thing?
Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy was among those that disliked Reese’s actions, calling her a “classless piece of s—” on Twitter. Others, including ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith, believed that Reese was only doing the same thing Clark did but that it was only an issue because Reese is a Black woman.
“Here’s the reality of the situation: [Clark] instigated this kind of stuff,” Smith said on “First Take” on Monday. “Let’s call it what it is. She was waving, she was doing the [John] Cena. How about what she did to Raven Johnson? She didn’t just go into the lane and not guard her against South Carolina in the national semifinal. She waved her off, she didn’t mind being disrespectful. So, why is it that we’re hesitant to bring that up?”
“We all know that there’s a white-black issue here because the fact of the matter is when Caitlin did it, people were celebrating it, and they were talking about nothing but her greatness. But then the second a sister steps up and threw it back in her face, now you got half the basketball world saying, ‘You know what? That’s not the classiest thing to do. That’s not the way to act.’ It was the exact same thing.”
Reese responded to Biden’s remarks.
🤣🤣🤣A JOKE. https://t.co/9SiOKQNqbj

The White House has not responded to a request for comment about Jill’s remarks. The LSU coach said that she will go to the White House if the team is invited.
Jill Biden included some mumbo-jumbo about Title IX in her remarks in Denver, as though she was on the front lines in that fight, back in the day. You know, like when Joe Biden tries to claim he was a big civil rights activist back in those days.
In her remarks, Biden also marveled at how far women’s sports in the U.S. have come since Title IX in 1972 gave women equal rights in sports at schools that receive federal funding.
“It was so exciting, wasn’t it,” the first lady said. “It was such a great game. I’m old enough that I remember when we got Title IX. We fought so hard, right? We fought so hard. And look at where women’s sports have come today.”
We fought so hard. Right, Jill. If that were true, shouldn’t she know how important it is to win a big championship? The winning team doesn’t want to share the spotlight, nor should they have to do so.
Hey, has Jill Biden weighed in on transgender women canceling women’s sports for biological women? Being such an activist, I think she should be out there defending biological women and the hard work and sacrifice they put into their sports. She won’t though. Liberals ruin everything.
