US national soccer team player Ali Krieger has said she would"absolutely not" go to the White House if invited and stood by her teammate Megan Rapinoe in her war of words with US President Donald Trump.
The 34-year-old defender -- a veteran of three Women's World Cups -- believes it was important for her to publicly support Rapinoe, who has attracted as much media attention for her comments off the pitch as her exploits on it."I refuse to respect a man that warrants no respect," Krieger told CNN New Day's Alisyn Camerota of Trump.
Women's World Cup: Megan Rapinoe 1-on-1 02:01Krieger -- a Women's World Cup winner with the US team in 2015 -- last week responded to Trump's string of tweets about Rapinoe, writing:"I know women who you cannot control or grope anger you, but I stand by @mPinoe [Rapinoe] and will sit this one out as well.
Rapinoe's girlfriend's response to Trump attacks goes viral 02:06The US women's squad may yet get the chance to visit Washington D.C.Last week, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez invited them to the House of Representatives and Krieger said she would"absolutely" take her up on the offer."I could say that after this game, we could pack our bags and be on our way, but that's obviously not my choice," she said.
