Pennsylvania lawmakers invite Eagles to Capitol after Trump disinvites them

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Pennsylvania lawmakers on Monday invited the Philadelphia Eagles to visit the Capitol after President Trump uninvited the team to the White House.

Rep. Brendan Boyle (D) and Sen. Bob Casey (D) both tweeted at the Super Bowl champions within minutes of the White House abruptly announcing that the team would not visit the White House.

“The Eagles are still welcome to visit the US Capitol,” Boyle tweeted. “I will have Wawa coffee waiting.”

Casey tweeted that he was also skipping the White House event, calling Trump’s decision to rescind the team’s invitation a “political stunt.”

“I’m proud of what the Eagles accomplished this year,” Casey wrote. “I’m skipping this political stunt at the White House and just invited the Eagles to Congress. Eagles How about a tour of the Capitol?”

Casey is up for re-election this year. Trump, who won Pennsylvania in 2016, has backed Casey’s GOP challenger, Rep. Lou Barletta.

1. Good move, Bobby Casey!

2. The Warriors visited with local kids and toured the National Museum of Af-Am History instead

The Eagles should do something similar -- go to DC anyway, do something with some local community members and visit a museum/monument.

3. Some Eagles players went to bat for the visit, and got stabbed in the back. nt

4. The entire team should go to the Capitol

Fuck Trump and his divisive fake patriotism "show".
