'We'll go to the Obamas': Angel Reese publicly and brutally rejects Jill Biden's apology

Racial discord has come to play a role in pretty much everything in post-Obama America, including sports. The NFL, the NBA, and Major League Baseball have gotten caught up in the racially divisive tenets that define radical left politics today — hell, even NASCAR and the NHL are feeling the effects.

First lady Jill Biden got caught up in this political minefield when she made the unheard-of suggestion that the runner-up in the recent NCAA women’s basketball championship game should visit the White House along with the winning team, the LSU Tigers — the losing team, Iowa, is predominantly white.

LSU star forward Angel Reese took exception to Biden’s suggestion, which was unprecedented — the first lady was in attendance at the game and was apparently caught up in the excitement. Reese initially responded by tweeting, “A JOKE.” And when the inevitable Biden walk-back came, the player infused a racial narrative during an appearance on the “Paper Route” podcast

“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 stated. “I mean, you like felt like they should’ve came because of sportsmanship, right? They can have that spotlight. We’ll go to the Obamas, we’ll see Michelle, we’ll see Barack.”

Reese was already caught up in a controversy involving her actions toward Iowa’s star player, Caitlin Clark, as the game came to a close. Reese followed Clark around the court taunting her and the usual suspects on the left defended the classless move by playing the race card because Clark trash talks during games.

Talking trash and mocking a celebration is one thing. Happens at all levels of sport.

“I know we’ll have the champions come to the White House, we always do. So, we hope LSU will come,” Biden said after Sunday’s championship game. “But, you know, I’m going to tell Joe I think Iowa should come, too, because they played such a good game.”

Granted, it was a dumb suggestion, and there was no chance she would stand by it when race was brought into the equation, hence the walk back.

“The First Lady loved watching the NCAA women’s basketball championship game alongside young student athletes and admires how far women have advanced in sports since the passing of Title IX,” press secretary Vanessa Valdivia said in a statement. “Her comments in Colorado were intended to applaud the historic game and all women athletes. She looks forward to celebrating the LSU Tigers on their championship win at the White House.”

Back to the taunting incident, Reese’s reaction to the controversy also took on a racial component as seen below when she regurgitated words used by Barack Obama as he inflamed racial sentiments over the death of Trayvon Martin:

“I’m too hood, I’m too ghetto. Y’all told me that all year. But when other people do it, y’all don’t say nothing. So this is for the girls that look like me.”
