On Monday, President Joe Biden welcomed the 2021 WNBA champion Seattle Storm to the White House. Instead of simply celebrating their on-court achievement, he took the opportunity to try to appease the woke mob.

According to CNN, Biden told the team how proud he was — not of their championship, but rather their fight for “social justice.”

“What makes this team remarkable is they don’t just win games; they change lives,” he said.

“Encouraging people to get vaccinated so we can beat this pandemic, speaking out and standing up for racial justice and voting rights, supporting education and … mentorship programs for young people and fighting to protect trans youth from an epidemic of violence and discrimination.

“That’s what winners do. They shine the light, they lift people up, they are a force for change. That’s the Seattle Storm, that’s the WNBA, that’s what they do.”

Notice how Biden never mentioned the actual achievement the team supposedly came to the White House to celebrate, which was their 2021 WNBA championship.

Instead, he praised them for fighting for liberal priorities under the guise of agreeable terms such as “voting rights.” What that really means is radical bills such as HR 1.

Biden singled out Storm star Sue Bird, who is engaged to notorious leftist Megan Rapinoe of the United States women’s national soccer team. In typical Biden fashion, he was unable to remember Rapinoe’s name as he tried to praise her.

However, the worst of Biden’s antics occurred after his speech. As he posed for a photo op with his woke WNBA friends, Biden decided to take a knee right in front of multiple American flags.

While Biden did not directly face the flag, he was clearly attempting to make a political statement. Many WNBA stars have knelt during the national anthem in the past to protest so-called “systemic racism.”

Beyond the fact that is completely inappropriate for the president to parrot an action that disrespects the American flag, he did not even appease the most radical leftists.

According to The Grio, Black Voters Matter co-founder Latasha Brown said while Biden’s action was admirable, “we cannot just have symbolic progress.”

No matter what Biden or anyone else does, it will never be enough to please the radical left. Disrespecting the flag is never acceptable, and now it isn’t even sufficient to please the crowd Biden wants to pander to.

He may not be a gynecologist but he knows a cunt when he sees one.

Not everything is a political statement, even in the White House, according to Biden press secretary Jen Psaki.

On Tuesday, she sought to answer questions from the press about whether the president had been kneeling during a photo the previous day with the WNBA champion Seattle Storm as a form of political protest.

“The president certainly supports police reform, but he also was taking a photo with a sports team and he has also kneeled on other occasions with sports teams in the past,” Ms Psaki said.

Since 2016, numerous athletes like former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick have knelt during the national anthem as a way to protest systemic racism and police violence against communities of colour.

While Mr Biden may not have been joining this cohort, he did celebrate players on the Storm like star point guard Sue Bird for their activism on topics like voting rights, racial justice, and transgender equality.

“What makes this team remarkable is they don’t just win games; they change lives,” Mr Biden said on Monday. “That’s what winners do. They shine the light. They lift people up. They’re a force for change. That’s the Seattle Storm. That’s the WNBA. That’s what they do.”

The team in turn gifted the president a custom Storm kit with his name on the back.

Before the visit Ms Bird said that now that Donald Trump is no longer in office, it’s once again an “honour” for athletes to visit the White House to celebrate their victories.

“I think for a very long time, up until 2016, going to the White House was an honour. It wasn’t necessarily political. It was to meet the president of the United States. The person who holds that office acknowledging your team’s success,” Bird said.

“It wasn’t political. I think that all shifted in 2016.”

Donald Trump regularly clashed with athletes during his time in office, especially athletes of colour who knelt during the national anthem to protest systemic racism, once saying he wished NFL owners would tell their coaches, “Get that son of a b**** off the field.”

Biden also paid tribute to Ms Bird’s partner, political activist and Team USA soccer star Meghan Rapinoe during the event

He said that she “represents the best of what America stands for.”

The remarks by Mr Biden come in the wake of allegations by Hope Solo, a former US women’s national team soccer star, that Ms Rapinoe “almost bullied” her soccer teammates into kneeling during the national anthem.

“They define integrity and character and as president, as an American, I am proud of how they have represented us and they represent the best of what America stands for,” Mr Biden said of the power couple.

Donald Trump has repeatedly targeted Ms Rapinoe in repeat personal attacks.

“If our soccer team, headed by a radical group of Leftist Maniacs, wasn’t woke, they would have won the Gold Medal instead of the Bronze,” Mr Trump said in a statement sent to reporters during the Tokyo Olympics .

“Woke means you lose, everything that is woke goes bad, and our soccer team certainly has. There were, however, a few Patriots standing. Unfortunately, they need more than that respecting our Country and National Anthem.

“They should replace the wokesters with Patriots and start winning again. The woman with the purple hair played terribly and spends too much time thinking about Radical Left politics and not doing her job!” he said.

I love the people that have to politicize absolutely EVERYTHING. As much as I detested President Obama, if I would have had the opportunity to meet him, fuck yes I would have taken it. It's the freaking President of the United States. I have the utmost respect for the office and it would be cool as fuck to meet a sitting POTUS, regardless of who it was.

There was a time when I felt the exact same sentiment, but that changed with 4 years of the left totally disrespecting the office. Up to and mainly because of the shenanigans they perpetrated in the last election.
Biden is a charlatan and everything he does is a mockery of the office. I have absolutely zero respect for him as a man and less as the masquerading president.
Whoever is controlling his actions has surrounded him with a bunch of inept imbeciles. They are totally incompetent at performing their jobs and I feel that it was all part of the plan.
