Megan Rapinoe Discusses White House Invite, Equal Pay, More with Rachel Maddow

United States women's soccer team captain Megan Rapinoe went on The Rachel Maddow Show Tuesday and discussed numerous topics, including a potential White House invite, advancing the equal-play conversation to action and more following the USWNT's 2019 World Cup final victory over the Netherlands two days prior.

Rapinoe, who won the Golden Boot as the World Cup's top goalscorer and the Golden Ball as its top player, told Maddow that the team had not received an official invite to the White House from President Donald Trump.

"Not publicly, and not to my knowledge and certainly not in the way that everybody else is invited to the White House or not invited to the White House," Rapinoe told Maddow when asked whether the team had been invited.
