” He is better known for appearing in popular faith-based productions, such as “God’s Not Dead.” However, Sorbo’s outspoken conservatism and Christian faith have alienated him from the entertainment industry.
Still, the Daily Wire reports that Sorbo has not been deterred from speaking out when the spirit moves him. He commented on Twitter about one of the troubling aspects of the deal that freed Brittney, the African American gay WNBA star imprisoned in Russia since February 2022. The Russians imprisoned the basketball star to a lengthy term in a penal colony. Russian airport security had caught Griner with what they considered illegal drugs but what she claimed was cannabis-based pain medication.

The Biden administration freed Griner for Viktor Blum, an arms trafficker and terrorist infamous for fomenting wars to sell weapons. American law enforcement sentenced Blum to a lengthy prison sentence for attempting to sell surface-to-air missiles to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC). FARC intended to use the missiles to shoot down American helicopters. Intelligence authorities have called Blum “the Merchant of Death.”

Sorbo did not mince words when he called out President Biden on Twitter. “I don’t want to hear anything about gun control from the left after they willingly freed an incredibly dangerous arms dealer.”

The Biden Administration has been keen to revive the “assault weapons” ban and other gun control measures it will clamp down on gun violence. However, Viktor Blum is now free to help Russian President Vladimir Putin gather arms for the war in Ukraine.

Sorbo was not the only person to criticize the athlete for the arms trafficking deal. Fox News’s Dagan McDowell sent her caustic tweet, “The US releases arms dealer Viktor Bout to Russia in exchange for Brittney Griner. ‘You’d be hard-pressed to find a man with more blood on his hands,’ says Chris Swecker, former head of the FBI’s criminal div. A former intell operative for Putin, Bout now resumes that career.”

Radio talk show host Dana Loesch noted that the deal left a former Marine named Paul Whelan behind, languishing in a Russian jail on trumped-up espionage charges. “Biden sure does have a habit of leaving Marines behind.” The statement reminded one of the President’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Finally, Outkick’s Clay Travis pointed to the bad precedent the deal has made. “Brittney Griner and Viktor Bout’s prison swap has set a dangerous precedent for Americans overseas. Bad actors all over the world can now imprison mildly famous Americans in their countries hoping to free real criminals from American prisons.”
