The Blame America First Brigade in action!

On Tiffany Cross's MSNBC show on Saturday morning, Nayyera Haq, a former Obama aide, speaking of the imprisonment in Russia of WNBA player Brittney Griner, said:

"We know the only reason that she was in Russia is because she was not able to make equal pay here in the United States that NBA stars would make. So that points to the disparity in American life."

Cross's one-word response: "terrifying!"

So, according to Haq, it's really the United States, with its unequal pay for men and women, that is responsible for Griner's predicament!

America-hating liberals can find a way to blame America for virtually anything.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Is that why she got caught with drugs?

They will deserve it when they put the same meat in the seats as the NBA. Otherwise, MSNBC loons ought to STFU.

Donald Trump probably personally planted them in her baggage. ;-)

This nitwit must not understand that without the nba supporting (welfare) the wnba it would have collapsed a long time ago.

Well, at least MSNBC didn’t blame Global Warming. But maybe that will come later.

When you work at MSNBC, the whole “it’s a profit thing” probably seems very fuzzy. Give the gurls a break.

Anyone associated with or watching MSNBC are pathetic clowns.

I’d never go to Russia but I’d definitely never go to Russia and break any laws.

Thank you MSNBC! We owe a great debt of gratitude to those of you willing to the transcend the bounds of sanity, so we don’t have to.

[MortMan]

These two harridans are fully able to subsidize the WNBA from their own salaries, no?

She should have tried it in Singapore. She’d discover a whole new meaning to the word “Swinger”
