Martina Navratilova penned a note for US citizens after Trump's victory
After achieving wins in states like Pennsylvania, Georgia, North Carolina, and others, Donald Trump will be sitting in the Oval Office next year. Martina Navratilova expressed her disappointment at this, writing an alarming message for the citizens of the USA on X.
She wrote,
"Well, trump won. Fear and anger won. And a country that was born as a racist patriarchy proves beyond any reasonable doubt it still is a racist patriarchy. Not sure when this ceases to be true..."
Before that, the 68-year-old opened up a few days ahead of the elections about the reason behind her not wanting Trump to win. She explained her view was connected to her early years in Czechoslovakia, in a post on X.
Navratilova wrote,
"I lived in a totalitarian authoritarian country growing up and I will not vote for that now or ever. trump is not pro women- rapist and assaulter- he is against all things trans. A big difference. I support trans people but not male bodies in women’s sex based spaces. Simple"
