I don’t understand people’s beef with Angel Reese … and here’s another reason.

The LSU Tigers and Iowa Hawkeyes squared off in the NCAA Women’s March Madness national championship game Sunday, with the Tigers getting the distant 102-85 win. And in normal fashion, the team received an invitation to the White House by First Lady Jill Biden. Problem is: LSU’s star player Angel Reese laughed in her face about it.

“I know we’ll have the champions come to the White House, we always do,” Biden said Monday, a day after personally going to watch LSU’s victory in Dallas. “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.”

“A JOKE,” said Reese in a tweet responding to an ESPN story about Biden wanting the Tigers to visit the White House, adding not just one, not two, but three ‘rolling-on-the-floor laughing’ emojis.

Now, I’m totally one of those people that would accept an invitation to the White House no matter who the president is, no matter whether they’re Republican or Democrat. I mean, come on, this is the White House that we’re talking about. This is meeting the president of the United States that we’re talking about.

I wouldn’t be able to resist. (RELATED: Rapper Drake Loses $250,000 On Final Four Bets)

With that being said, though, I’m not going to complain about Angel Reese completely flaming Jill Biden and providing me with a ton of entertainment value, because that’s exactly what she did here.

I’m loving it!
