Megan Rapinoe, star and co-captain of the United States women’s national soccer team, took her criticism of President Donald Trump to a new level in videos published on Tuesday, calling him a white nationalist.

quote:

I think we know that immigration does not cause loss of jobs. Immigration is actually good for the economy. We know that women in the workforce is good for the economy. We know that equality is good for the economy. We know that mass incarceration is bad for the economy. We know that mass incarceration is bad for society and ends up costing us more money in the long run, the war on drugs, whatever it may be. I think that that has proven to be really detrimental.

Now, obviously, we have a white nationalist — I think — in the White House and the spewing of hate and the “othering” of the rest of the country has only led to more rift between people and more despair and more anxiety and more fear going forward.

There’s been nothing to ease Donald Trump’s base, really. There’s been nothing, it’s not like he’s given them a bunch of jobs. It’s not like he’s made life really better for them, he’s just given them this false reason why maybe they’re not happy with their lives. There’s been no sort of path forward.


quote:

Are we ever going to see your name on a ballot?

I’m not totally shutting the door, but it seems wild.

What have you secretly fantasized about running for?

I mean, President, of course. If I’m going to do, I want the biggest, baddest post. That way, I can be the president, but then I get to pick everyone else who’s way smarter and way more qualified and way better at everything to actually do the thing. I’m not here being like ‘I’m the smartest, I should be the president.’ I’m actually like ‘I’m wholly unqualified for probably any position in government,’ but I’ve got that little bit of humility where I can be like ‘You’re smarter, you do this, you do this, you do this.’



Would you vote for Rapinoe?

She has about as much chance as the women’s national team against a group of junior high boys

She can't even win a court case. Maybe she should start by running for president of the local flannel union first.

Bitch is too dumb to negotiate a better soccer contract, then too stupid to realize she got EXACTLY what she asked for when she wants to sue to fix it. Oh, yeah. Who would't vote for her?

Thinking is not her strong suit.
