“Last night, I attended the NCAA women’s basketball championship,” said Biden, while speaking at an event. “So 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 [Biden] I think Iowa should come, too, because they played such a good game.”

When word got out that the first lady wanted both teams to come to the White House, Reese took twitter her thoughts, calling the suggestion ‘A Joke’.

She expressed that if they were on the losing end, the team would not have received the same invitation that her opponents gotten. Subsequently, because the first lady’s comments sparked a debate on if there were ulterior motives behind the white house invitation, now it seems as if Jill Biden is recanting on her original comments. “If we were to lose, we would not be getting invited to the White House. A lot of phone calls (were made) and that’s why she wants to come out and apologize, but at the same time, I don’t accept it” Reese said in the interview.
