Martina Navratilova did not hold back her words when criticizing Donald Trump for his rally at the Madison Square Garden on Sunday (October 27). The former tennis ace went on to claim that she would not want to be friends with someone who supports the Republican leader.
After Trump held a rally at the infamous venue, the media drew a parallel between his rally and the Nazi rally in 1939. Navratilova reiterated the claim as she took a direct shot at Trump, calling him a “wannabe fascist.”
The American then declared their she could not think of being friends with someone who supported the Republican leader. In the end, Navratilova warned everyone who might come up with excuses to defend Trump.
After the abominable trump rally which was a carbon copy of the Nazi rally there in 1939 I think?-I truly cannot even think of being friends with anyone who would vote for the wannabe fascist named donald trump. Don’t even bother trying to make excuses for him.

Martina Navratilova faced a lot of criticism for her post, with people reminding her of the 1992 rally held by Bill Clinton at the same venue. A few felt that comparing Trump’s rally to the Nazi rally does not make sense.
What happened at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally?
Donald Trump called for a rally at the iconic Madison Square Garden to showcase his broad-based support in the home stretch of the presidential campaign. However, things took a turn when comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, of the “Kill Tony” podcast fame, warmed up the crowd with a few jokes.
After Hinchcliffe described Puerto Rico as an “island of garbage,” criticism from all corners followed. Later, Grant Cardone, a businessman, said Vice President Kamala Harris and “her pimp handlers” will destroy the country.
David Rem, a childhood friend of Trump, called Harris “the devil” and “the Antichrist.” On top of that, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson mocked the attention paid to Harris’s racial identity.
She’s just so impressive as the first Samoan, Malaysian, low-IQ former California prosecutor ever to be elected President.

Danielle Alvarez, a Trump campaign senior adviser, said in a statement that Hinchcliffe’s “joke does not reflect the views of President Trump or the campaign.” But the damage was done. Media picked up that and a few more of Hinchcliffe’s comments and drew parallels between Trump’s rally and Adolf Hitler‘s rally in 1939.
