Sports and politics seldom make ideal mixed doubles partners.

Hall of Famer Martina Navratilova says it’s time to speak her truth.

In a video published today, Navratilova says she’s “pissed off as hell” about the state of the United States and takes aim at the Trump Administration.

In the video Navratilova, who was born in communist Czechoslovakia, reflects on her experiences growing up in a totalitarian country.

The former world No. 1 in singles and doubles says she sees warning signs that the U.S. is headed in the same direction of the former Czechoslovakia she escaped.
