Martina Navratilova made a statement on JD Vance wanting civil war after his statement over the Dallas shooting

In September this year, a 29-year-old man named Joshua Jahn shot an ICE facility in Dallas, where, three detainees in a van from the facility were shot. However, no ICE officials were affected during the incident.

Reflecting on this incident, Vance said that they had some evidence that proved that the accused was 'politically motivated.' A video of him delivering a speech about the incident made rounds on X:

"What we know is that in Dallas, Texas, an ICE facility was opened fire upon by a violent left-wing extremist, a person who wrote anti-ICE messaging on their ballots. There's some evidence we have that's not yet public," said Vance.

This speech garnered the attention of Navratilova, who passed a statement, claiming that the vice-president wants a civil war with his speech on the Dallas shooting.

"Vance wants CIVIL WAR!!!" wrote Martina Navratilova.
