Left-wing anthem-hater Brittney Griner was just released from prison. And while Biden is taking a âvictory lap,â the American people are furious. Fox News reported that Brittney Griner was arrested in February before the start of the Russia and Ukraine war for bringing in vape cartridges containing oils derived from cannabis through a Moscow airport as she was returning to the country to play for a basketball league in the country.
About 10 months later, just weeks before the Christmas holiday, Griner is coming home.
âMoments ago I spoke to Brittney Griner,â the tweet read. âShe is safe. She is on a plane. She is on her way home.â
Watch:
Meanwhile, US Marine Paul Whelan, another American imprisoned in Russia, was not a part of the swap. He has been jailed on espionage charges that his family and the U.S. government have said are baseless.
Griner was arrested at Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow on Feb. 17 after Russian authorities said she had vape cartridges with cannabis oil inside her luggage. On Aug. 4, Griner was given a nine-year sentence after pleading guilty, arguing that she had been prescribed cannabis for her pain and inadvertently packed it. Her sentence was upheld in October, and she was later transferred to a penal colony.
Bout is known as the âMerchant of Deathâ and the possible swap for him was floated back in May. He was in the middle of a 25-year sentence in federal prison after he was convicted of conspiracy to kill Americans relating to the support of a Colombian terrorist organization.
He was dubbed the âMerchant of Deathâ because of his notoriety for running a fleet of aging Soviet-era cargo planes to conflict-ridden hotspots in Africa. His dealings inspired the Nicolas Cage film âLord of War.â
Hereâs the tweet Bidenâs Handlers published:

Hereâs what people online are saying:
âLeaving retired U.S. Marine Paul Whelan imprisoned in Russia. Whelan has been in Russian custody for nearly four years. He was convicted on espionage charges that the U.S. has called false. DisgustingâŚâ
âYep. So why didnât he make the deal sooner? Why hasnât he made deals for our other citizens held there?â
âSo, the lefty who hates America is freed, but the US Marine is still there. Makes total communist sense.âÂ
âYou are an absolute disgraceâ
âSo we left the other American whoâs been there FOUR YEARS, gave Russia their arms dealer back, and all we got was an anthem kneeler that canât pack a suitcase without putting drugs in it?â
âVP Kamela Harris is in this photo. When she was AG in California she was responsible for locking up hundreds of non violent offenders for weed. When asked about it in an interview she laughed about it.â
âYou are the most partisan, political, posâÂ
âHope this changes her view on America, but I doubt itâÂ
And in another unbelievably ton-def move, Biden will âaddress the nationâ over this from the East Room, as if an American hero was just released, not a criminal, who hates the US flag. This reminds me of Obamaâs Bowe Bergdahl moment.
