WNBA champion Natasha Cloud called for President Trump’s impeachment following U.S. military airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. Taking to social media shortly after the announcement, Cloud posted, “A sad sad day,” followed by, “Grounds for impeachment,” directly attributing the military action as justification for removing the president from office.
Her reaction mirrored growing criticism from political figures, most notably Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who labeled the strikes unconstitutional and echoed the same call for impeachment. Cloud’s post fueled wider debate across digital platforms, with supporters praising her courage while critics questioned the politicization of athletic influence.
Known for her activism, Cloud has never shied away from expressing her views on justice, race, and governance. Her statement further cements the trend of athletes stepping into national political conversations, especially when they feel fundamental democratic principles are under threat.
As the international and domestic consequences of the Iran strikes continue to unfold, Cloud’s remarks highlight the ongoing divide in public sentiment and the growing impact of voices from outside the traditional political sphere.
