WNBA and Olympian Diana Taurasi and Team USA women’s coach Cheryl Reeve used the Olympics to endorse Kamala Harris for president. USA Today.
Taurasi, speaking during a video interview wearing a U.S. national team shirt, said “a lot of us” see ourselves in Harris.
“To me, it’s all about policy,” Taurasi said of the most radical, far-left candidate the Democratic Party has ever fielded. “What are you going to do for the American people who need you?”
“And I think for a lot of us, we see a lot of ourselves in her and in what she wants to do for this country. And for me, it’s one of the proudest and most beautiful moments,” she continued.
“So we’re going to support her and we’re going to do everything we can to make sure she wins,” Taurasi said of Harris, “and we’re going to move the country forward in the right direction.”

Meanwhile, Reeve argued it was important to vote for Harris because coaches fear their “basic human rights” will be taken away by Harris’ opponents.
“I think what our league has done for many years is really important – to use our voice as an instrument of change, and I have no doubt that in this scenario we would play that role,” she explained.
“And as we’ve seen threats to the fundamental human rights that our league holds dear, I think it’s really important that we don’t back down,” Reeve said.
“That’s why I’m proud to stand with the parties on this matter and support Kamala Harris.”
In other words, it appears that these two are supporting Kamala Harris.
The WNBA members aren’t the first American basketball stars to use their platform for inappropriate left-wing partisanship at the Olympics: Last week, Team USA coach Steve Kerr and player Stephen Curry also promoted Harris’ campaign at an Olympic press conference.
