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 understands the value of Agitprop and accusing your rivals of the worst possible interpretation of events.
Republicans always try to give the benefit of doubt to their "friends across the aisle."

Yes, you’re right Carville. Send someone to kill me please. I can’t live with the guilt any more.

Their opening gambit is always slander and nothing they say can be taken at face value.

Pro-Putinism? Carville is speaking nonsense. This was huge win for Putin, trading an entitle, hate-America basketball player for the weapons dealer.

Breitbart...Andrew must be rolling in his grave with the half-wits running that place now. They’ve gone softer than a porn star sans fluffer on wokeness.
