Just hours after The Gateway Pundit reported the latest brutal targeting of WNBA savior Caitlin Clark, the Phoenix Mercury organization posted a classless cartoon mocking her on their official social media.
The stick-figure graphic showed former Fever player DeWanna Bonner (now with Phoenix) lying on the ground laughing hysterically with the caption: “De-wanna piece of this?!?”

Multiple angles show Thomas driving her fist/forearm directly into Clark’s neck and throat. Video evidence also captured a knee to the groin area during the same sequence.
No foul was called. No flagrant was reviewed. Nothing.
