1. I'm a Clark fan but...

more than a few right-wingers and racists, including elected GQPers, have glommed onto her success as a straight white woman to bash black and gay players. As I recall, Clark has responded only once, saying something like no one should try to use her to sow division.
Swoops is a different case. She may have apologized in February for the lies she broadcast about Clark but she’s still acting squirrelly about her.
Clark has demonstrated nothing but respect for the WNBA legends who proceeded her including Swoops. She was coached by feminists at Iowa who are part of Iowa basketball history themselves.
I’m glad Clark continues to stay above the fray but my heart would sing if she put the racists and homophobes on notice by endorsing Kamala.
