Bam! Twitter users destroy Snowden's latest move, 'hero' status with simple question

Bam!

So Edward Snowden has now fled to… Russia? Didn't he say stuff about not wanting to live in a country that spied on its own? Still a hero?

As Twitchy reported, the NSA leaker, Edward Snowden, left Hong Kong by way of Moscow. There are reports that he will next head to Cuba and then Venezuela. What a  “grand tour of U.S. adversaries,” huh?

He has landed in Moscow.

Hmm, indeed.

Glenn Greenwald is bitterly clinging to hero status.

Second look at Russia, Cuba, and Venezuela? https://t.co/WerNPy65V9 #nothelping

Wow. Other Twitter users continue to blast that narrative with simple questions and key points.

@allahpundit Yeah, when it comes to 'freedom of speech' there's no place like Russia, which keeps killing uppity reporters.

@moelane Well, two things are clear. (1) Snowden’s crisis of conscience about oppressive gov’t doesn’t extend to other countries

@moelane (2) His supporters will defend any move he makes at this point, no matter how shifty or repulsive

— Allahpundit (@allahpundit) June 23, 2013

Snowden made clear he opposes US spying on ANYONE, including foreign governments, but shown no similar concerns w/ other countries spying.

@ggreenwald this white bronco moment is more likely to reveal that "patriot" / "hero" Snowden is traveling thru all of USA's worst enemies
