Riley Gaines Torches Writer Who Linked Caitlin Clark to the Lynching of Emmett Till

Riley Gaines spent an entire podcast episode responding to a USA Today column that connected Caitlin Clark to one of the most notorious lynchings in American history.

Gaines called it the worst Clark take she’s seen “by a mile.”
