Sunday on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” U.S. Women’s Soccer World Cup championship team co-captain Megan Rapinoe said President Donald Trump was “trying to divide so he can conquer, not unite so we can all conquer.”
Host Chuck Todd said, “What do you tell a Trump supporter who loves watching you and is like, I wish she’d go to the White House?”
Rapinoe said, “I think I would, you know, try to share our message. Do you believe all people are created equal? Do you believe equal pay should be mandated? Do you believe everyone should have health care? Do you believe we should treat everyone with respect? I think those are the basics of what we’re talking about. And I understand people feel upset or uncomfortable. There’s, I think, some feelings of disrespect about the anthem protest or things I’ve said in the past. But ultimately, I think I am here open and honest. I’ve admitted mistakes. I will continue to do that. I will continue to be vulnerable and be honest and be open and want to have that conversation because I think Trump’s message excludes people that look like me and are me, of course, but it excludes a lot of people in his base as well. I think that he’s trying to divide so he can conquer, not unite so we can all conquer.”

Your 15 minutes of fame are over. Go away.
Another blithering idiot heard from.
how many black women are on that soccer team??
Getting kinda tired of hearing about this worthless POS...Her time is up...
Sorry doll. Your fifteen minutes are over.
The AOC of Professional Lesbian Kickball...
Just go away nasty Butch.
15 year old boys team beat the ladies soccer team. Who cares what she thinks?
Great point. Just mostly white intitled commies.
Excellent! KC_Lion, Thanks!
MTP finally jumped the shark......er, anchovy.
Yes but sadly it seems the treason media is going to shove her down our throats every single day till 2020. Why? Because she’s a far leftist wacko just like they are.
Tim Russert is rolling in his grave. He would never give this blithering idiot a platform to spew her venom.
Do you believe equal pay should be mandated?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mandated by whom????
But a better question would be...Should lesbian soccer players who can’t beat a boys junior high team and bring in dozens of fans be paid the same as men soccer players who bring in millions of dollars in revenue??
can we stop with the rabidno postings?...we should not be promoting her.....
They excluded the country’s best female defender from the team, a black girl, because she’s a Christian.
It occurs to me that if someone wants to grow their sport and their level of income, they should refrain from slamming the door on a large section of the available audience. But socialists really do not understand market forces. They believe in mandates from authoritarian governments to "make things right".
