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.

Don’t raise legitimate points...
Her race, gender, and orientation should have NOTHING to do with supporting or opposing the trade!
Giving up this arms dealer and murderer in exchange for an American who broke Russia's drug laws, is simply an indefensible exchange.
It is only made worse by the fact that an American service member (ret'd), who has been held much longer, was not a higher priority for Biden.
Wait, so opposition to releasing a dangerous Russian back to Russia is Pro-Putinism?
Carville also claimed opposition to the swap “exposed a big big fault in American culture,” and said those opposed are likely “pro-Putin.”

If you oppose returning the arms dealer to Russia, then you are pro-Putin. If you give Putin the arms dealer, you are anti-Putin. Makes total sense.
Don't forgot Xenophobe.
I am so tired of being called a racist.
Looks like he's riding high after all the "election" hanky-panky.
Wrong again James! But do keep trying to gaslight the sheeple- people are starting to catch on to the liberal spin and false narratives! Especially now that Twitter has been exposing the blatant lies and cover-ups from the left
And islamophobia.
Democrats always accuse others of what they do.
They did the swap because of it’s a gay black woman who hates America.
James needs to stay on the Clinton Cabal ball field.
I once ran into the guy and talked with him for 20 minutes and stated he has a political tack driver of a wife who I would personaly run through a wall for, and asked with a smile what was his defect? I just happened to have a retro 92 Bush T shirt on under a dress shirt and I had worked that campaign in OH so we went there. That was his personal glory days, so he was open to reviewing the best of the best of the turn.
We went on for about 15 minutes, him being funny about himself, most of the clues were bout if he just had not meet the clintons or never left for DC he would be a well know NOLA fixer, but he met the clintons and needed to be the viper for the cameras and the lovers of the press corp. If anyone runs into him away from camera, start up a conversation with him in a clever manner about the old days and learn something why the press loves the clintons, they love james carvel, the clintons just got the good feelz.
No other democrat with a public footprint I have ever met was charming and open like James Carvel. Most are as pleasant as a cactus. Perhaps he was blasted out of his gord on a travel day.
There is a reason why he smoke jumps into issues for Clinton orbit and the DNC, he is the ultimate player and builder of friendships for people who toss that around like poker chips. Poltics wise he is the ultimate dick and extreamly good, person wise he probably brings a lot of humanity to the mob bosses. We need more james carvels and less isms players.
I am rubber and you are glue...
Oh shut up Carville
Honestly, these people live on a different planet than
you or I.
You can bet Brittney Griner gets arrested for something soon and blames it on being locked up in Russia ,LOL
Only from the neck up.
Yes, it’s racism.
Has nothing to do with her being guilty of drug smuggling in a foreign country, whereas the Marine is just a hostage.
They literally have one card to play.
“ I am so tired of being called a racist.”
I watched 8th graders — several of whom were minorities — mock each other and call each other “racist” (jokingly) for not passing a ball, not giving them their fries, etc.
They know it’s now a meaningless accusation.
Got it. Black lesbians are drug smugglers.
