Angel Reese has an unlikely ally … Iowa star Catlin Clark is coming to the protection of the newly topped NCAA champ, straight up saying “I do not assume there needs to be any criticism for what she did.”

Of course, 21-year-old Clark discovered herself on the middle of the largest sports activities story within the nation on Monday, after 20-year-old Reese threw up John Cena‘s famed “You Can’t See Me” celly proper in CC’s face through the waning seconds of Sunday’s girls’s nationwide championship sport.

“Like I stated, they performed an incredible sport so I do not assume there needs to be any criticism for what she did. I truthfully did not see it when the sport was happening and like I stated, I have not been on social media actually in any respect.”

Caitlin additionally addressed Jill Biden‘s latest feedback, the place she remarked she’d inform her husband, President Joe Biden to ask the shedding Iowa group as a result of “they performed such an excellent sport.”

FLOTUS was destroyed for the remark … because it’s customary for the winner of a championship, by no means the loser, to go to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave for some face time with the prez.
