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.

Speaking for myself residing in Iowa, I just assume most people in this state are fucked. Not a knock on anything she's done specifically, but rather a product of her surroundings. To me, it's akin to assuming if you're from rural Texas, you vote red.

Surprise… and fear! Our TWO chief weapons are surprise and fear!
