New York Liberty player Natasha Cloud has made her support for radical socialist Zohran Mamdani in the race for the mayor of the city very clear in recent days.
Cloud, who has been one of the most frank WNBA players in the discussion of politics in recent years, celebrated Mamdani’s victory in the Democrat primary in a series of social networks on Wednesday.
Cloud sent a post X with one of the regularly used quotes from Mamdani, “we can be free, and we can be fed”, marking the candidate. Earlier in the evening, Cloud repressed the celebration post of Mamdani.

On June 18, Cloud turned off a video from Mamdani addressed to his reaction to be called Anti -Semitic, and this cloud the same day wrote his own article expressing his support for the self -proclaimed democratic socialist.
“If I was not a resident of the AP, [Mamdani] Who would receive my vote, “said Cloud.
In an interview with the sports blogs site “Clutch Point”, Cloud said that Mamdani’s victory in primary has restored his “hope in humanity”.
“He obtains the worst PR because he is Muslim, he is a socialist, and he is a democrat. But he believes that it is the law of the government to take care and to ensure that all his voters live a worthy life, no matter who you are, what your religious affiliation or your experience is. I think it’s beautiful,” said Cloud.
“I think that on the whole, it is the right choice. But why it is so stimulating for me, it is that it has restored my hope a little in humanity. Even within the limits of what is happening at the moment in our government and in our country, people will express themselves. People will present themselves. And there is a lot of humanity in this world so that we are careful about each other.”
Cloud has become one of WNBA’s most polarizing characters for comments on President Donald Trump.

She apparently reacted to Strikes of the American army On the main Iranian nuclear installations on Saturday evening, writing on X, “a sad sad day” and “Grounds for Impeachment”.
Later, she wrote: “I pi — d all the Tumplicans again, it is normal to admit that you were all bad. [And] I also have the impression that it is just that you start first for the front lines. No other sons and daughters. “”
In February, Cloud responded to the president Donald Trump Decision to eliminate several Dei government programs.
“Power systems work because they were still intended to work,” Cloud told the Associated Press. “And it’s time to break a system that has only been on white men.”
Cloud added that she believes that the country puts “money on people”.
“I understand the commercial aspect and I understand the human aspect,” said Cloud. “Too often, this country has put the human aspect aside and put profit and money on people.”
Cloud doubled his remarks in a social media position a few days later.
“The thing is that I am not sweet, and the words do not hurt me lol, are we 5? There are always people on profit,” she wrote on X. “If you are really impartial … Google is looking for any media coverage abroad of what’s going on in America.
“Then I come back to me and tell me the whole world crazy.”
Cloud also aroused controversy for comments and interactions with the WNBA Caitlin Clark phenomenon.
During an interview on the “Podcast Pivot” with Ryan Clark, Cloud weighed on the debate that rocked WNBA last year when several illegal successes against Clark aroused the outrage of many fans.

“It’s just a part of the game. There was no targeting, there was nothing. This story that was shot in” Oh, the veterinarians hate recruits. Recruits hate veterinarians. The veterinarians are going after some players, “this is all racism” said Cloud.
Then, in a game between cloud freedom and Clark fever in Indiana on May 24, Cloud defended Clark and was leaned enough on the superstar to eliminate the ball from the hands of Clark on the final possession. No fault has been called and cloud freedom has retained a two -point victory.
