Martina Navratilova recently gave her thoughts on a widely circulated video of Charlie Kirk expressing his sympathies towards David DePape, who attacked the US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, in 2022. The late right-wing activist also derided Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, who were at the helm of the Cabinet back then, in the said video.

Kirk was assassinated during one of his debates at Utah Valley University last Wednesday (September 10) by a man named Tyler Robinson. The 31-year-old was famous for his takes on age-old ideologies and laws, and also created "The Charlie Kirk Show" to keep the youth updated on important news.

In one of the episodes of the above radio show from two years ago, the US social commentator seemingly took shots at the 46th US President, Joe Biden, and his Vice President, Kamala Harris. He also made light of the attack on American businessman Paul Pelosi, which was widely criticized by the Democrats, by asking for the assailant's bail.

"And why is he still in jail? Why has he not been bailed out? I bet his bail is like 30 or 40 thousand bucks," Charlie Kirk said on his show in 2022.
"Joe Biden is a bumbling dementia-filled Alzheimer's, corrupt tyrant who should honestly be put in prison and or given the death penalty for his crimes against America," he added. "But Kamala Harris, my goodness, there's something that just, kind of, is tribal."

Against that background, Martina Navratilova took to her X (formerly Twitter) handle to express surprise at the above video this week.

"So much love coming from this guy…" Martina Navratilova wrote on X on Wednesday.

Navratilova has made several comments on Kirk and his politics over the last week following his untimely death.


Martina Navratilova on Charlie Kirk's assassination: "An abhorrent act from an abhorrent individual"

Martina Navratilova is known for her contributions to the Democratic Party in the past, and has also consistently criticized current US President Donald Trump's actions and policies. That said, the 68-year-old still condemned the assassination of Charlie Kirk, who was a known ally of Trump.

"Political violence is never ok. This is an abhorrent act from an abhorrent individual. It is a sad day in many ways as this kind of stuff is way too common…." Martina Navratilova wrote on her X account after Charlie Kirk's death.

Since then, the American legend has kept her reactions on some of Kirk's ideologies balanced. While the former World No. 1 was quick to denounce BMX athlete Chelsea Wolfe's rejoicing of the 31-year-old's assassination, she did express her shock on the latter's opinion about Black history.
