Those who opposed the release of Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, notoriously dubbed “the Merchant of Death,” in exchange for former WNBA star Brittney Griner are largely driven by racism and homophobia, according to Democrat consultant and political commentator James Carville.
Carville also claimed opposition to the swap “exposed a big big fault in American culture,” and said those opposed are likely “pro-Putin.”
Speaking on CNN Newsroom with Jim Acosta on Saturday, Carville complained that racism and homophobia are significant drivers of opinion in America, suggesting that if Griner was a “blond Chi Omega from SMU” then the reaction would have been different.

Carville is high on Griner’s supply.

Ah yes, the old tried and true mechanism of the Bolshiviks to shut down unfavorable opposition.

Democrats can nevereverevereverevereverevereverever do ANYTHING wrong, and when they do, it has to be our fault for thinking it is something wrong.

I bet the “Merchant of Death” is already working on arms deals that will kill lots of Europeans and Americans.
Not the libtards like Carville care.

My opposition to this trade has waned only because the more I looked into it, the more I've come to believe that Viktor Bout should've never been in prison here in the United States in the first place.
This guy went from someone we did business with to the "Merchant of Death" pretty quickly.
It begs the question: Who in the State Department did he piss off?

This coming from Satan himself.

That has to be the issue - there’s no way even HE believes the garbage that comes out of his snakehole.

The Left’s Core Strategy #1: “Pick the target and polarize it." *via Rules for Radicals
The Left’s Core Strategy #2: Scream accusations of racism (or racist attacks) at anything you don't like or which slows your agenda. *Sexism, "homophobia", etc. are also opportunities.
The Left’s Core Strategy #3: Intensely attack Republicans for doing what you are doing.
The Left’s Core Strategy #4: Attack Republicans with shallow insults in an effort to negatively influence the public's view of their character. Do not attempt to explain the insults. Think drive-by shooter.
The Left’s Core Strategy #5: When all else fails, censor speech and/or deploy violence.
Repeat

Quite remarkable how people such as Carville will do all they can to take an extraordinary news event such as this, and turn it into an instance of discrimination. I doubt even he believes this drivel.
