Jill Biden's Tone-Deaf Women’s Basketball Comments Get Walked Back, Woke Mob Is Having None of It

Quote:We previously reported on how First Lady Jill Biden stepped in it big time with comments she made during a Monday visit to Denver.

To recap, in her remarks, Biden said, “I know we’ll have the champions come to the White House, we always do. 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.”

Understandably, this set a lot of people off and not just LSU fans considering the standing tradition is for the winners of college and pro sports championship events to get to be the ones invited to the White House, not the teams who lose. I mean by the standard trying to be set by Jill Biden, maybe the 60+ teams who made it to the tournament should get invited as well?

LSU player Angel Reese, one of the standout players of the women’s championship game, tweeted along with laughing emojis that Biden’s invite was “A JOKE.” Others implied or outright stated that Biden was more or less invoking so-called “white privilege” in inviting the losing team, which has a lot of white players in contrast to LSU.

In response to the backlash, the First Lady’s office attempted to walk back her comments via a statement posted to Twitter on Tuesday.

“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,” Jill Biden’s press secretary Vanessa Valdivia wrote.

“Her comments in Colorado were intended to applaud the historic game and all women athletes,” Valdivia continued in another tweet. “She looks forward to celebrating the LSU Tigers on their championship win at the White House.”

Not surprisingly, Valdivia’s comments did nothing to appease the woke mob, which clapped back with comments like this:

We don’t want your crafted press statements. She said what she meant! There’s no back pedaling now—she needs to own what she said!

She needs to get on a mic and applaud the achievements of the #LSU team with the same energy she had in coddling the white girl who lost.

And this:

In Louisiana we call this crawfishing as fast as you can

As to what made Jill Biden think inviting Iowa in the first place was a good idea, my colleague Nick Arama speculated that there might have been a political angle at play considering the heavy importance Democrats put on the Iowa primaries.

Whatever the case may be, I have not one ounce of sympathy for the sticky situation Jill Biden walked into with her remarks, considering the emphasis this White House puts on being woke, even if it comes at the expense of the safety and security of others.

Relatedly, and to reiterate a point I made before, Jill Biden talking about “how far” female athletes have come since Title IX is rather rich, considering her very powerful husband is a proponent of altering Title IX to allow men who identify as women to compete in their sporting events and win.

Jill Biden, of course, is on the same wavelength, presenting the “International Women of Courage” award in March to … a transgender woman.

In other words, Jill Biden “supports” Title IX in theory… but not in practice.

LSU Player Dunks on Jill Biden After Embarrassing Women's Basketball Remark

Quote:Apparently, the First Lady didn’t realize the minefield she was stepping into because she then decided it’d be a great idea to invite both teams to the White House. That left the mostly black LSU team fuming, feeling as if it was a racial slight to not be given the spotlight alone.

Eventually, the White House tried to walk things back, and it appears that LSU will now be getting the only invite. But the damage is done. Here’s Angel Reece, who was at the center of the controversy on the court, slamming the First Lady and proclaiming that she won’t be showing up.

I’m not gonna lie to you, I don’t accept the apology because of, you said what you said.

(crosstalk)

Yeah, the wife.

I said what I said. And like, you can’t go back on certain things that you say. 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.

If you watch both videos, what you’ll see is a spoiled, petulant child who sees racism behind every corner and is obviously enjoying her 15 minutes of fame before she fades into obscurity as a WNBA player. She even claims that the mention of “sportsmanship” by Jill Biden had something to do with racism.

Still, I’m not going to lie and say I didn’t laugh at the video. It’s pretty hilarious to see her going after the most woke, racially obsessed administration in history, saying she’ll go visit the Obamas instead.

And that’s really the story here for me. This is woke-on-woke violence of the highest degree, and it’s the inevitable result of feeding into the purposeful racialization of the country. The White House and Jill Biden have made an active decision to push diversity, equity, and inclusion nonsense at every turn. They’ve happily and cynically done so because they believe it provides them with political victories.

What did they think would happen? That the alligator wouldn’t eat them if they just bent the knee enough? As I’ve said before, you can never be woke enough. You will always say something to make the more marginalized and aggrieved among you upset. That’s why apologizing to the woke mob is so pointless. Even when you do so, they will still throw you off the cliff.

In summary, is Reece acting like a total brat? There’s no question that she is. On the other hand, does Jill Biden deserve any sympathy on this front? Not even a little bit.

I agree with you that calling her a whore is out of line. I don't like Jill Biden but this is taking it to another level. However...I totally disagree that both teams should be invited to the WH. Ive never been a fan of the practice anyway but it has always been delegated to the winners. I see no reason to break with that tradition because this deals with women.

Although I wouldn’t use the wording. The interview with her ex husband says a lot about her. He wasn’t vindictive just matter of fact of how she was dating Joe while married. Shedding her was the best thing that ever happened to him. He wouldn’t have the wife he has today.

Correct. If she hadnt gotten out there and said her and Joe met on a blind date, when in reality she was f*cking him while Joe's other wife was still alive, noone would care.
