First Lady Michelle Biden Celebrates LSU’s National Championship Game at the White House and the First Lady’s Response to her Q.C. Davis Question

By Tuesday, the first lady’s spokeswoman said that the comments were meant to honor female athletes and the historic game. She is looking forward to the LSU victory at the White House.

Biden thanked both teams for their performance in the national championship game, while also highlighting Iowa’s sportsmanship.

Runner ups usually do not go to the White House. LSU should be happy that they’re going there and I wish them the best of luck. Clark said that he might go to the White House on different terms. That is for LSU. That’s a pretty cool moment and they should enjoy every single second of being a champion.”

Reese’s teammate Alexis Morris asked if they could celebrate elsewhere, specifically at a former first lady’s house. LSU national champ can we come celebrate with you at your house? Reese replied to Morris with a shout out.

In the national title game on Sunday, Reese played a key role in the win over the Hawkeyes, helping the Tigers achieve their first national title in program history. She was named the women’s NCAA tournament’s Most Outstanding Player as a result of her standout performances.

Stephen A. Smith told Reese that he meant absolutely zero disrespect to the First Lady, but she was correct.

The national championship drew a record-breaking average of almost 10 million viewers. The game, which peaked at 12.6 million viewers, was the most-viewed NCAA Division I women’s college basketball game on record across all networks.

Reese has been in the headlines following LSU’s victory, in particular as she called out the double standard in the reaction to her gesture towards Iowa guard Caitlin Clark.

During Sunday’s tournament game, Reese —who transferred from the University of Maryland last fall — celebrated the Tigers’ lead against the Hawkeyes by making a hand gesture popularized by wrestler John Cena, titled “You Can’t See Me.”

In the press conference after the victory, Reese referenced the difference in reaction she received as a result of her gesture as compared to the one Clark received.

“All year, I was critiqued for who I was. I don’t fit the narrative,” Reese said. “I don’t fit the box that y’all want me to be in. I am also a hood. I am too ghetto. All year, Y’all told me that. When other people do the same thing, you don’t say anything.

I want this for the girls that look like me. Those that want to speak out for what they believe in. It doesn’t matter if you are unapologetically you. And that’s what I did it for tonight. It was larger than me tonight. It’s going to go into a rage every time.

The first lady’s comments on the White House invitations came days after a video of Reese and Clark dancing went viral.

Angel Reese, a star for LSU, said that she and her team wouldn’t visit the White House after the basketball team won the national championship.

Reese responded to Biden’s comments calling them “A JOKE” on Monday, and in a comment on an Instagram post from “The Shade Room” which included a comment from Reese, the recently crowned NCAA champion said: “WE NOT COMING. period.”
