USWNT's Megan Rapinoe: U.S. Capitol Siege Showed America's 'True Colors'

Following last week's insurrection that saw a mob storm the U.S. Capitol, U.S. Women's National Team star Megan Rapinoe responded to the incident.

"This is America, make no mistake about it," she said, via CNN.com, on a Zoom call with reporters on Tuesday.

"I think we showed very much our true colors. This is not the first time we have seen a murderous mob like that. Unleashing a White supremacy mob is nothing new to America as people of color, Black and Brown, know that very well."

Rapinoe has returned to the USWNT for the first since the COVID-19 pandemic broke out last March.
