WNBA Players Split Over Midterms as 2 Guards Post Starkly Different Messages

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Nov 5

Summary

  • Sophie Cunningham and Natasha Cloud posted sharply different reactions after Democrats' midterm wins, with Cunningham amplifying a call for self-improvement and Cloud backing a taunt aimed at Republicans.
  • Cunningham reshared Andy Frisella's message that elections cannot substitute for "personal excellence," framing national change as a product of stronger, more self-reliant citizens rather than partisan victories.
  • Cloud shared Rep. Robert Garcia's "LAWYER UP!" post and added "BTA!" — slang for "belt to ass" — celebrating Democratic oversight and mocking Trump allies after the losses.
  • The contrast fits each player's recent public profile: Cunningham has described herself as politically "middle," while Cloud has repeatedly used social media to denounce U.S. institutions and conservative positions.
