Following a bold display of defiance toward President Donald Trump, U.S. women’s soccer star Megan Rapinoe has now accepted an invitation from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) to tour Capitol Hill at any time the team wishes.

Ocasio-Cortez extended the invitation on June 28 after news the U.S. women’s soccer team had defeated France 2-1 in a World Cup match.
