In April 2014, Black sent an official letter to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad,[27] thanking "the Syrian Arab Army for its heroic rescue of Christians in the Qalamoun Mountain Range",[27] praising Assad for "treating with respect all Christians and the small community of Jews in Damascus," and stating it was obvious that the rebel side of the war was largely being fought by "vicious war criminals linked to Al Qaeda" [27][28] Democratic State Senator A. Donald McEachin called the letter "bizarre,"[29] while Republican State Senator Bill Stanley later joked "What's the matter, Dick? Was Kim Jong-un not returning your text messages?".[30]

...

On April 27, 2016, Black began a three-day trip to Syria in support of its government.[32] Explaining his trip in a series of Twitter exchanges with the Washington Post, Black wrote that the U.S. was "allied with two of the most vile nations on earth, Saudi Arabia and Turkey, which are intent on imposing a [Wahhabi] fundamentalist government on the Syrian people."[32]

However, as Virginia Senator Richard Black told RT, the crisis would just as likely be resolved if the US and its allies ordered their terrorist proxies in Aleppo to allow civilians to leave, instead of using them as hostages to escalate anti-Russia rhetoric in a bid to prevent the fall of the rebel stronghold.

Let's recap:
A Virginia State Senator who doesn't even know that Turkey isn't wahabi gets billed by Russia Today as a US Senator with inside knowledge how the US is on control of ISIS.

Nice.

1. A rancid homophobe, too. It must be love.

He probably loves the anti-gay legislation in Russia.

2. Another conservative homophobe for Putin. Black has the highest rating from the Virginia Tea Party

and the American Conservative Union.

IOW your typical conservative bigot. It is not surprising that he is popular on RT and was a hit with Assad I'm sure.
