Bell concluded by saying that Phelps’ stepping aside in favor of Muhammad was already a done deal. In addition, the CNN host thought Phelps was going to step aside, so he thanked him stating:

During these Olympics, you can win more medals to add to your all-time winning number of medals. But no medal will compare to making room for this.

Glad Phelps did not back down to political correctness and was able to carry the flag as the most decorated Olympian. :)

I thought this girl stated she disliked America and was scared of Americans? Why would she want to carry the flag?

NBC had a fluff piece on the fencing Muzzie.

MSM suffers from Islamophelia - an unhealthy obsession with the death cult of Islam.

Hmmmm. Most decorated Olympian or some three-for-affirmative action candidate? Who should carry the flag for the U.S. in 2016.

Should this even be a question? When this fencer has about 19 more gold medals and 23 more total medals in her possession then she should be given the honor of carrying the flag. Until then.. ummmm. no.

This W. Kamau Bell IS a total ding-dong. They are the archetypal libtard who sees “history” in everything. Probably records it somewhere when he uses a new toothbrush. Why should the highly decorated Phelps be shoved aside for this honor just because he has the wrong surname? And why should this other guy have the honor just because he was named for the right pedophile? Just absolutely ridiculous!

Nothing more anti American than a muzzie carrying our flag. At least we were spared the spectacle of her dropping it and stomping on it.

Me ok.

Guess the press hasn’t figured out yet that they can spout all they want it doesn’t make it so. God is the only one who can speak something into existence

Pathetic. I really do not care about the Olympics and won't be watching one second of it but for CNN to diss Phelps in favor of an Islamic terrorist is over the top.

It’s a good thing they didn’t select her. I’ve already vowed to watch zero seconds of The Olympics. If they would’ve selected her I would’ve lost sleep trying to figure out how I could watch less.

Wrong Sex. Wrong race.

These folks sure have a firm grasp of racial rights don’t they.

Who was more qualified to carry that flag than Phelps. I’m not a big fan of Phelps, but he is the senior participant, has great qualifications based on his medals won.

He is exactly the right guy.

What is the penchant for turning the U.S. into some sort of Islamic enclave? That S should stop right here, right now!

The nerve of this jackass!

This is the profile of the CNN dude.

That explains a lot.

Perhaps boding worse for the country, our young “best and brightest” voted the Muslim a close second just to be PC.

She was prominently shown by NBC as the american athletes came into the stadium. She was just next to Phelps.

I should add that Michael Phelps has never carried the flag or gone to opening ceremony due to his previous years’ early morning swimming schedule...This was his first opportunity to do this in the 3 Olympics in which he has participated.

It truly is outrageous that some would say Phelps does not “need” to do this...he EARNED the right to do this.

I didn’t want Michael Phelps either. A big embarrassment to our country. However, that girl is not worthy either. Michael Phelps has RECENTLY been found to be a druggy and worse got a DUI. We want THAT representing our country????? I don’t think so. Maybe if his problems were 15 years ago ok but they were very recent. Oh and the baby mamma.....I guess our country is in the toilet morally anyway so that is fine.

Ibtihaj Muhammad is an American sabre fencer and member of the United States fencing team. She is best known for being the first Muslim woman who wears a hijab to qualify for the United States Olympic Team.

A guy with 18 gold medals is not supposed to carry the U.S. Flag in the ceremony. Seriously?
