Pelosi applauds U.S. women's soccer team for 'patriotism,' invites players to Capitol, and calls for fair pay
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi congratulated the U.S. Women’s National Team for their “inspiring” victory over the Netherlands in the Women’s World Cup on Sunday.
Congrats to @uswnt for winning w/ strength, unity & patriotism. By popular, bipartisan demand & with @USRepKCastor & @RepLaHood, co-chairs of Soccer Caucus, I’m pleased to invite the players to the US Capitol as a team or individually to celebrate your inspiring victory. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Pelosi added in a separate tweet that the women’s team showed the world “their greatness ― now show them the money,” adding the hashtag “fair pay.
Last month, Rapinoe told Yahoo Sports she’s “a walking protest when it comes to the Trump administration” because “of everything I stand for.” “I am a big fan of the American Team, and Women’s Soccer, but Megan should WIN first before she TALKS!” Trump tweeted last month. “Finish the job! We haven’t yet invited Megan or the team, but I am now inviting the TEAM, win or lose.”
