Orgo-Life the new way to the future Advertising by AdpathwayPresident Donald Trump on Tuesday claimed the U.S. women’s hockey team he belittled is coming to the White House after rejecting the first invitation.
He mentioned the development as he praised the Olympic gold medal-winning U.S. men’s team in attendance at his State of the Union address.
“They beat a fantastic Canadian team in overtime as everybody saw, as did the American women, who will soon be coming to the White House,” Trump said.
A White House official told HuffPost on Wednesday regarding the president’s announcement: “We look forward to hosting them at the White House after their tremendous victory and celebration.”
HuffPost has also reached out to USA Hockey for confirmation.
Controversy erupted when Trump invited the men’s team to visit him after their victory at the Milan Cortina Games. He snickered that “we’re going to have to” invite the women’s team, or possibly get impeached.
His dismissive tone rankled many observers, and the women’s team declined the invite due to scheduling conflicts, according to USA Hockey.
But rapper Flavor Flav said on social media the women accepted his invitation to party with him in Las Vegas for a “real celebration.”
The men’s team, meanwhile, visited Trump at the White House on Tuesday and then received a rousing ovation on Capitol Hill during his speech.
Many players could be seen clapping as the president mentioned the women’s visit.
