We all knew Biden would have traded Putin himself for her. She's a black woman in the "underpaid" WNBA. She's also woke.

Tom Cotton: People Will Die Because Biden Traded ‘Merchant of Death’ for Brittney Griner

Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) predicted on Thursday that leftist President Joe Biden’s decision to trade imprisoned basketball player Brittney Griner for notorious Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, known as the “merchant of death,” would result in people dying as rogue states interpreted the move as open season to arrest Americans.

Yup
I have little interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them.

Biden Leaves Marine Paul Whelan Behind in Russia in Brittney Griner Swap; Family: ‘Catastrophe’

The family of retired Marine Paul Whelan said Thursday that a prisoner swap for WNBA star Brittney Griner that left Whelan in Russia was a “catastrophe” because the U.S. would no longer have leverage to free him.

Cowboys star rips Biden over Brittney Griner release, walks back scathing tweets
Micah Parsons expressed surprise over the fact that deal did not include Marine veteran Paul Whelan

By Joe Morgan | Fox News

excerpt:

 "We still not voting for you!" Parsons said in a now-deleted tweet. 



As the tweet went viral, Parsons deleted his criticism of Biden, posting an explanation and an apology for tweeting "out of emotion."


https://twitter.com/MicahhParsons11/status/1600861254737809408

"Just spoke to some people that I respect and trust. I should have been more educated on the topic and not tweeted out of emotion for my family and other who have served. For that I apologize," Parsons posted to Twitter. 

"Also if what I’m told about the attempts to bring Ret Marine Paul Whelan home are true then the best outcome was accomplished. I pray Mr. Whelan comes home but am extremely happy for Brittney and her family.  I am not too prideful to admit when I’ve made a mistake."

Simple question, was it a democrat that told whatever it was about the attempts to Whelan home? Then if he believed it he's a fool that will never learn.

Is Brittney Griner ready to give up the fame of being a Russian prisoner to return to the obscurity of the WNBA?

Rep. Guy Reschenthaler upset prisoner swap didn't include Butler native Marc Fogel
By Christopher DeRose
December 8, 2022 / 12:50 PM

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- A teacher from Oakmont who's been detained in Russia for more than a year remains in custody.

This summer, Butler native Marc Fogel was sentenced to 14 years in a maximum security prison after he was caught with 17 grams of medical marijuana for a spine condition.   ...

"I will continue to relentlessly advocate for Pittsburgh native Marc Fogel's release and for the State Department to classify him as wrongfully detained, something they have failed to do since his detainment in August 2021," Reschenthaler said in a statement.  ... KDKA

"Her wife" - who has spent more time at the White House lately than most members of Biden's cabinet, it seems.
