So, we hope LSU will come, But, you know, I\u2019m going to tell Joe I think Iowa should come, too, because they played such a good game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Her comments were quickly interpreted by many as an attempt to give white losers a consolation prize or affirmative action, suggesting that they should be awarded an honor typically reserved for winners of the championship. The backlash on social media was swift and widespread.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What they&#8217;re saying<\/strong>: Angel Reece, LSU&#8217;s star forward, referred to Biden&#8217;s suggestion as a &#8220;joke&#8221; in a tweet.
