Summary
Sophie Cunningham said Friday she did not mind the White House using her viral finger-pointing meme, telling reporters it was just "another group posting about it."
The White House had posted the meme on June 30, pairing a clip of Cunningham discussing the gesture on her podcast with a 2024 campaign video of Donald Trump pointing at the camera.
The image came from a June 22 WNBA game in Indianapolis, where Cunningham pointed at Phoenix Mercury player DeWanna Bonner after an argument during Indiana Fever's 86-77 win.
Cunningham said on her podcast that the technical foul she received for the gesture was "the weakest thing I've ever seen," adding that she "didn't say a word" and was "literally pointing."
