It's not the White House, but that's exactly the point.

Less than a week after President Trump attempted to pick a fight with U.S. women's national soccer team star Megan Rapinoe after she mentioned that, under no circumstance, will she go "to the fucking White House," Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez proffered a more, shall we say, enticing offer.

"It may not be the White House," tweeted Ocasio-Cortez on Friday, "but we’d be happy to welcome @mPinoe & the entire #USWMNT for a tour of the House of Representatives anytime they’d like."

The offer came on the heels of the U.S. women's team defeating France to advance to the World Cup semi-finals.

Megan Rapinoe, who scored two goals in the 2-to-1 victory, responded enthusiastically to the offer.

"Consider it done," she wrote.

It seems that even before Tuesday's upcoming game against England, Megan Rapinoe has already notched one more victory in her belt. It just so happens that in this case, she dominated the President of the United States.

UPDATE: June 29, 2019, 11:20 a.m. PDT: It looks like U.S. Senator and presidential candidate Kamala Harris wants in on the action. Echoing AOC's invitation, Harris invited the U.S. women's soccer team to the Senate.

Harris also managed to throw in a dig at Trump, noting that she promises "we won't make you eat cold fast food in front of reporters."

Trump, of course, is notorious for doing just that.
