GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley flubbed Caitlin Clark's name during an Iowa tailgate event.
While speaking to the crowd, Haley instead said the name of the CNN anchor Kaitlin Collins.
AdvertisementDuring a Saturday tailgate event in Iowa, GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley sung the praises of Iowa Hawkeyes basketball sensation Caitlin Clark, who over the past year has become one of the highest-profile female athletes in the country.
But as Haley spoke to the crowd ahead of the Hawkeyes women's basketball game, she seemingly mixed up Clark's name, instead naming CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins.
In pointing to a cause for the Civil War, Haley stated that the conflict was "basically about how the government is run, the freedoms and what people could and couldn't do."
