(RepublicanWire.org) – NBA superstar LeBron James bashed the United States in favor of Russia as he has suggested that a WNBA player, who is in custody in Moscow on drug charges, may as well decide not to return to America.

This isn’t the first time James has made openly woke, anti-American comments – although he was known to be fond of the leadership of Communist China, where he sells basketball shoes – even as he already has a fortune of more than $1 billion.

As he bashed America to the benefit of Putin’s Russia, a modern-day fascist dictatorship currently invading its democratic neighbor Ukraine, LeBron James was referring to the case of Brittney Griner.

Griner, also known for her woke stance since 2020, which has included disrespecting the US national anthem, was detained at an airport in Moscow as she was leaving Russia after offseason games.

Griner was arrested on February 17 on allegations of drug possession and trafficking. A week before, on February 24, Putin attacked Ukraine with 200,000 troops and started the most significant war in Europe since World War II.

Earlier this month, Griner pleaded guilty to the Russian charges and faces a 10-year prison sentence. The US government hasn’t been able to do much to get her out of Russia, primarily due to the high tensions with Moscow stemming from the invasion of Ukraine.

At the same time, however, she and her lawyers’ decision to plead guilty is believed to be due to preparing a prisoner swap with the Russians.

According to a report in The New York Times, the Putin regime wants to exchange her for Viktor Bout, a very dangerous rogue Russian arms dealer known as the “merchant of death,” serving a 25-year sentence in a US prison.

Against this complicated backdrop, LeBron James openly accused the US government of not doing enough to get Griner released and out of Russia. He spoke on the HBO show “The Shop: Uninterrupted.”

“How can she feel like America has her back? I would be feeling like, ‘Do I even want to go back to America?’” James stated. His apparent insult to America hinted that Putin’s Russia might be better than the United States.

In 2018, LeBron James made a scandalous statement against the NFL and “old white men” whom he portrayed as slave masters.

“In the NFL, they got a bunch of old white men owning teams, and they got that slave mentality,” the basketball billionaire said back then.

You know the cop that has been delighting everyone with his viral Lebron James video? Well, liberals tried to get him fired. While they ultimately got him suspended for the hilarious video, which was a response to James’ attacks on a small business for refusing to show NBA games, Bellevue, Idaho cop Nate Silvester had the last laugh.

“I never expected my tiktok to go viral the way it did. However, when it started gaining traction I anticipated that some would come out in opposition and there would be some blow back,” Silvester says. He was suspended for a week without pay. But his best friend stepped in and started a GoFundMe to raise funds to cover lost income.

“Hey all, please SHARE SHARE SHARE this with all your friends, and contribute what you can. I hate to see Nate lose out on any money because of his comical genius!” the friend writes.

The video features the officer mocking LeBron, who recently criticized a heroic cop who stopped a knife-wielding would-be murderer from killing people. But because she was black, the cop was allegedly racist because that’s how it works these days.

The GoFundMe was an instant success and has raised nearly $100,000 at the time of writing. Nate says he plans to donate a portion of the money to The First Responders Children’s Foundation, a charity for the families of fallen officers and first responders. 

Nate is in good spirits and says his colleagues support him. “My immediate supervisors and coworkers have been supportive but have also tried to stay neutral so as not to put their jobs at risk — which is very understandable,” he says. “They are great officers and incredible human beings.”

Asked if liberal harassment and suspension will stop him from making videos, which he does in an attempt to humanize police officers, Nate says he won’t be stopped:

“Yes I am! This has become much bigger than I could have expected,” he said. “I have a following of amazing people who have shown their overwhelming support for me and law enforcement in general. We need to keep this momentum going! There are so many good men and women in law enforcement who are doing a tough job everyday. During such an uncertain time for us I want them to experience the same love and support I’ve been shown these last few days. Their lives matter!”
