Basketball star Caitlin Clark was one of the first celebs out of the gate to like Taylor Swift’s long-awaited endorsement of Kamala Harris on Tuesday night

The WNBA rookie was the toast of the right-wing media earlier this year after an on-court showdown with her old NCAA nemesis Angel Reese. Clark came out to denounce the likes of Fox News and Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy for using her as a pawn in the culture wars, saying it was “unacceptable,” but she has always kept quiet about her political affiliations until now.

The former Iowa Hawkeyes star is likely to have disappointed a legion of fans in deep red Indiana, where she plays for the Fever.

    Racists are in shambles right now…

    Over the years they latch onto literally anyone white and claim they’re on the same side. They did it with Taylor back in the day. And Caitlin recently.

    Any white person who lives in a red state knows how fucked up that is. I can’t even count how many racists just fucking assume that since I’m white I’m also a shitty racist. It’s insane the type.of shit these idiots will say in the smallest amount of.privacy to someone they think they agree with

        Lol.

        I know. I literally look like the poster for the Aryan Brotherhood, including the big red beard common in Appalachia. Not really shit I can do about it, but when a white supremacist thinks of the ideal “us” I’m what they picture in their head.

        They tend to shut up now pretty easily, but I got in my fair share of scraps when I was younger over it.

        Cold cock a couple Nazis at local punk shows tho and pretty soon Nazis stop showing up to local punk shows.

          That reminds me of how Stephen Fry would stop homophobes from beating him up in school:

          He’d use their homophobia to his advantage by loudly saying “stop! Stop! I’m getting an erection!”

        I tried that once. Yeah it was real fucking bad. Thankfully they mostly stopped talking to me since I quit the whole beard and male things.
