The heated social media argument between former NBA center Enes Kanter Freedom and WNBA guard Natasha Cloud continued Thursday with another rebuttal from Kanter Freedom on Twitter. 

Cloud, who plays for the Washington Mystics, called the U.S. "trash" following Supreme Court rulings last week. 

Kanter Freedom took to social media and "Fox & Friends" Wednesday morning to hit back at Cloud’s comments, saying people "still cannot understand how lucky and blessed they are to be in a country where you can say whatever you want to say and you’re not going to jail.

Cloud responded to Kanter Freedom.

"I have respect for @EnesFreedom lived experience in his country," she wrote on Twitter. "I would expect him to have the same respect for MY lived experience as a black gay woman in my country. You have no idea what it means to walk my journey or anyone else’s for that matter."

Kanter Freedom fired back Wednesday night. 

"I mean no disrespect," Kanter Freedom began. "@T_Cloud4 I have respect for every activist who uses their platform to make a change. That’s the beauty of freedom of speech and protest. However calling America ‘trash’ is harsh. You can say America is not perfect, and we have lots of work to do. I know the alternative. People get hanged, raped and tortured to death in the Middle East just for asking for their basic freedom.

"Also I know the struggles the black community go through. I’ve had many teammates who educated me well enough and I empathize with that. Again, I’m not saying America is perfect, but it’s far from trash. At least we are not Iran, China, Russia or Turkey."

Cloud posted the initial tweet that sparked the debate Friday. 

"Our country is trash in so many ways and instead of using our resources to make it better we continue to oppress Marginalized groups that we have targeted since the beginning of times" and that "Black/brown communities& LGBTQ+ man we are too powerful to still be attacking issues separate." 

Kanter Freedom’s first response was to provide examples of how it could be worse living in a different country. 

"I am offering her or anyone, whenever their season is over, I will buy their ticket first-class," he said. "I would like to take them to … some of those regimes out there — like I said, again, China, Russia, Iran, Turkey and other ones — and forget about calling them trash. These regimes, you know, you criticize them. You and your family members will be in jail and tortured to death."

Kanter Freedom then mentioned Brittney Griner and how being imprisoned in Russia changed her thoughts about living in the United States.

He wants Cloud to have a talk with Griner. 

"If you think America is so bad and so trash and so terrible, then leave. But before you leave, please have a phone conversation with your colleague, Brittney Griner," he said. "You know, she knows the best. She was the one that's saying, ‘Oh, yeah, this country, we have so many problems, we should not sing national anthem ever again and stuff.’ But then she realizes on the other side what could happen. 

"So that's why I am telling everyone. Just have a conversation with people, experience what these regimes can do."

The head of the U.N. mission in South Sudan said the country is "not yet ready" to hold its first presidential election in the coming year.

Nicholas Haysom, head of UNMISS, during a meeting of The Reconstituted Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission, said he shared "frank views" expressed by some government officials, political parties, and civil society that the country was "at this point not ready" for "free, fair and credible elections."

The mission head cited the lack of a reconstituted electoral body and a political parties council as reasons for skepticism.

The presidential election is viewed as a culmination of the peace agreement signed nearly five years ago to pull the world’s youngest nation out of fighting that killed some 400,000 people.

Haysom said "a conducive political and security environment is non-negotiable" for a free election.

"South Sudan can however make significant strides towards this December 2024 target with political will, adequate resourcing, and a commitment to create an appropriate political environment," he said.

President Salva Kiir and his rival turned Vice President Riek Machar were at loggerheads in recent days over the sacking of the defense and interior ministers. The peace agreement signed in 2018 stated that Kiir was to appoint the interior minister while Machar was to appoint the defense minister. But the president has unilaterally fired both ministers.

In addition, the country is yet to deploy its unified defense forces, made of former rival groups, an integral part of the agreement. The government says deployment is delayed due to lack of funds, but critics say it is due to a lack of political goodwill.

"Time is of the essence as key components of the Transitional Security Arrangements remain behind schedule," Haysom said.

Kiir on Tuesday said his country’s long-delayed elections will take place in 2024 and has thrown his hat in the ring. He is expected to face off with Machar, who is yet to confirm his candidacy.

The opposition has accused the government of lacking the political will to hold elections, but Kiir said he was committed to free and fair elections.
