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

Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) also extended an invitation to the team and to Rapinoe, poking fun at the Trump administration’s championship dinner for the Clemson Tigers (at which fast food was served), writing, “No doubt the food & the company would be much better.”
