Martina Navratilova minced no words on Twitter after she hit out at GOP Senate Nominee over the abortion issue.
Navratilova, a tennis legend, lashed out at GOP Senate nominee Don Bolduc, for criticizing Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) for her focus on the issue of abortion. Bolduc, a retired Army brigadier general, is hoping to deny Hassan a second term in the midterm elections in November.
“She just wants to hang on with dear life,” Buldoc said in an interview with New Hampshire television station WMUR. “Well, guess what? Your views are not consistent with the average Granite Stater, number one. Number two, get over it. This is about the economy, fiscal responsibility, and the safety and security of this nation.”
Navratilova didn’t like what she heard from the 60-year-old politician. She took to Twitter and wrote:
“Just another condescending p…k”
After turning pro in 1974, Martina Navratilova became one of the best female tennis players of all time within a few years.
