Former American legend Martina Navratilova is one of the greatest players of the sport who has inspired millions of people in her career which lasted for almost four decades. Apart from her involvement in tennis, she has actively participated in various political debates and discussions. This time, she indirectly bashed Donald Trump and his people who tried different ways to influence the 2020 US election results.

Though Navratilova has often been criticized for her unfiltered words, she does not pay any heed to all of them and preaches what she believes in. The former American legend has always advocated for gender equality and stood up for equal rights for LGBTQ+ community individuals. She has always believed in exercising the power of freedom of speech which she rightly does often through her social media posts.

The 18-time Grand Slam winner has always disapproved of the actions of the 45th US President. Accusations have been made against Ginni Thomas for messaging Trump and his officials for overturning the election results in 2020 along with involvement in the January 6th attack on the Capitol. Along with Ginni, Justice Clarence Thomas will face consequences for his failure to recuse from related cases. The former World No 1 was shocked by the findings and was left disgusted.

She took to her social media account on Twitter to share her unfiltered opinion regarding Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife Ginni Thomas. Martina Navratilova’s post was like “This is just unbelievable- Thomas and wife are both traitors to our country“.

She has never denied her sexual orientation which had been quite a shocker for many when she came out to admit to being a lesbian herself. Since the 1980s, Martina Navratilova has battled decades of discrimination and unjust behavior but has never backed down from demanding equal rights for many like her.

She has always extended her support to the WNBA star Brittney Griner since she had been caught in Russia for possession of hashish oil, banned cannabis in the country, and was arrested at an airport in Moscow in February 2022. She had been time and again calling out the government for getting back their country star back home and pointing out the bad conditions in the Russian prison for Griner.

Griner got a huge relief when she was freed from Russian prison over a 1-on-1 prisoner exchange with both individuals being allowed to return to their respective homes. Martina Navratilova thanked US President Joe Biden for making it possible as she was much elated with the news. It was another incredible win for her activism that she does via her social media accounts to speak for issues around the entire world.
