Martina Navratilova: White House 'Propaganda' Is Reminiscent Of Communism

[Mrs. Overall]

Former tennis great Martina Navratilova has criticized the White House and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) handling of the coronavirus pandemic, suggesting living in the U.S. felt like being "back in a communist country."

On Thursday, former U.S. Attorney Barb McQuade shared a USA Today article on Twitter, questioning the wisdom of the CDC's decision to change its stance on the re-opening of schools after pressure from President Donald Trump.

"If the CDC changes its expert guidance on COVID at the order of the President, is it still expert guidance? Sounds more like authoritarian propaganda," McQuade, currently a legal analyst for NBC News, tweeted.

Navratilova echoed the sentiment, likening the "propaganda coming out of the White House" to the modus operandi of communist governments. "Exactly. I feel like I am back in a communist country with all this bulls**t propaganda coming out of the WH and now CDC," the 18-time Grand Slam winner, who has first-hand experience of living in a communist country, wrote on Twitter.
