Megan Rapinoe has a reputation for taking a stand against the National Anthem. Now, the ultra-feminist US Women’s soccer player is considering running for President. And of course, she took a stab at President Trump when she made the comment by calling him a “white nationalist.”
National Anthem During The World Cup
Megan Rapinoe, the controversial star of the US Women’s National Team, doesn’t have a reputation of being a patriotic American. She’s been hostile towards displays of American exceptionalism and pride.
Last summer, when playing in the World Cup, Rapinoe protested during the National Anthem as people around the globe watched.

She also said that she would not attend a reception at the White House after the US Women’s Soccer team took the top prize.
Now, even though she kneels or turns her back during the National Anthem, Rapinoe expressed aspirations to live in the White House.

When asked in a recent interview with VICE TV’s “Seat At The Table” if she is interested in pursuing politics, the 34-year-old soccer star confirmed that it is on her mind.
When pushed about which specific position she would run for, she stated that she wants to be the Commander-in-Chief.
Rapinoe Says Trump Is A White Nationalist
From TMZ:
“We have a white nationalist — I think — in the White House,” Rapinoe told VICE TV’s Anand Giridharadas.
“And, the spewing of hate and the other’ing of the rest of the country has only led to more rife between people and more despair and more anxiety and more fear going forward.”
Rapinoe — a very outspoken critic of POTUS since he took office in 2017 — also says on VICE’s “Seat At The Table” (airs Wednesday) that Trump is also hurting his own supporters. “It’s not like he’s giving 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.”
