Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark liked Taylor Swift’s Instagram post on
Tuesday in which the Grammy-winning singer endorsed presidential
candidate Kamala Harris for the upcoming U.S. presidential election.
Clark’s gesture was met with much hate as many took to the star
rookie’s Instagram comment section to voice their opinion while they
vowed themselves off as her fans because of the act.
Meanwhile, many other WNBA fans stood by Caitlin Clark and took to X,
formerly Twitter, as they reacted to the hate comments on Clark’s
Instagram.
maga people are insane. so ridiculous, ” a fan tweeted.
She should be like Taylor Swift, not care. CC has nüllions of
supportive fans in the world, too many to be worrying about a few
deserters. Say Bye Bye
‘ g fan tweeted.
Good riddance. They’ve been the ones giving her fans a bad name
all season, ” g fan tweeted.
Honestly, I hope these kind of people stop being herfans and go
back to ignoring the W, ” a fan ftveeted.
Guarantee not more than one of those comments, if that even, is
someone who’s actually watched a single minute of any women’s
sporting event. Those people are completely unserious, ” g fan tweeted.
Justfakefans of sport and CC. Good to weave them out. Do not
need politics in sports and personally I do not care who she votes for!
It is her business, ” g fan tweeted.
Caitlin Clark expands on ‘Liking’ Taylor
Swift’s pro-KamaIa Harris post
In the postgame interview following the Indiana Fever’s loss to the Las
Vegas Aces on Wednesday, Caitlin Clark expanded on her liking Taylor
Swift’s Instagram post endorsing Kamala Harris. When asked if her “like”
on the post meant that she was also going to endorse Harris for the
elections, Clark handled the question skillfully.
I think for myself, I have this amazing platform, so I think the
biggest thing would be to encourage people to register to vote, ” Clark
said. “I think for myself, this is the second time I can vote in an election
at age 22; I could vote when I was 18. So I think, do that. That’s the
biggest thing I can do with the platform that I have. That’s the same
thing Taylor did.
And I think continue to educate yourself with the candidates that
we have, the policies that they’re supporting. I think that’s the biggest
thing you can do and that’s what I would recomynend to every single
person that has that opportunity in our country. ‘
Unlike Taylor Swift, who endorsed Kamala Harris, Caitlin Clark did not
officially endorse any candidate for the 2024 Presidential Elections.
Instead, she used her platform to encourage people to get involved in
the political process and vote.
