Several supporters of President Trump waved large Trump 2020 flags and held signs criticizing Megan Rapinoe along the parade route for the U.S. women’s soccer team World Cup champions in New York City Wednesday morning.
The politically polarizing women’s soccer team has said they would not accept a White House invitation from Trump but would accept invitations from Democrats to visit Congress. Rapinoe infamously said she would not visit “the f***ing White House.” The team was feted in New York by Democrats Mayor Bill de Blasio and Governor Andrew Cuomo.
de Blasio and Cuomo — two men— were the only elected officials who were allowed to be part of the ticker-tape parade for the women’s soccer champs, source says. This wasn’t the case during the 2015 parade.
