Joe: Trump Didn't Give A Damn About Paul Whelan When In Office

The administration will continue to work to secure the release of Paul Whalen, meanwhile, some Republicans are using Griner's release yesterday as an opportunity to criticize President Biden, and in some cases, Brittany Greiner herself thinks about the exchange here The Trader of the death by a WNBA star who was drafted for marijuana left behind a marine think about it it's not an equal exchange let's think about what we did here we traded a basketball player for a known terrorist a criminal you know Hill Brittany realizes that She lives in the greatest country in the world The price of freedom is not free and I hope she performs the national anthem now that our president is so weak that he couldn't get it, you know, these two guys for this terrorist, it's really embarrassing in cable news and social media.

On the day several Republicans spoke out about the prisoner exchange, a Georgia congresswoman called for impeaching President Biden over the exchange, she won't be surprised, that was fine. Pennsylvania Congressman Scott Perry referred to Griner as, quote, an American who smuggles drugs, was again arrested with Vape cartridges at the Moscow airport, former President Trump posted on his social media site that Greiner hates to America called his release a stupid and unpatriotic disgrace to the country Joe well again I mean the hypocrisy is absolutely crazy, I'm talking about the same Republicans who were criticizing Joe Biden for not bringing Paul Whalen to house they conveniently

didn

't blame the man who is actually in the White House

when

Waylon was illegally arrested illegally imprisoned in 2018 Donald Trump Donald why

didn

't he do anything?

Why not Donald? Trump did anything in 2018 to bring Paul Wayland home. Why didn't Donald Trump do anything in 2019 to bring Paul Wayland home? Why didn't Donald Trump do anything in 2020 to bring Paul Whalen home? I mean, he was praising Vladimir Putin the whole time. So why not call his friend and ask him to free an American? I guess he just didn't care despite celebrating the release of other imprisoned Americans while he was in

office

. Donald Trump did not publicly utter Weyland's name once. As president, this, according to a review of public comments and tweets, was carried out by the independent Trump clearly had the power to negotiate a prisoner exchange agreement, however this was never more evident in 2020

when

he negotiated with his friend Putin. bring home Paul Whalen, who didn't

give

a

damn

, didn't

give

a

damn

that Putin arrested Weyland and let him rot in jail for three years, said no, he was negotiating with a Taliban and freed 5,000 Taliban terrorists .

What did he get in return? Nothing, you get nothing in return. And he wanted to invite the Taliban. The people who really allowed the 9/11 attacks to be launched from their country. He invited them on September 11 to Camp David. Can't. I mean, the hypocrisy is extraordinary, let's bring it up right now. Steph, Atlantic Writer Tom Nichols, Washington Post Surprise Float Winning Columnist Eugene Robin said Tom, I mean, come on, my God, when, when, when, these idiots and they're total idiots when these idiots are around. talking. about Joe Biden being a bad negotiator, uh, they're literally speaking in defense of Donald Trump, the biggest loser, the worst negotiator we've ever had, falling for the dictators of North Korea. he he he he is completely a cow towel for Vladimir Putin and Helsinki and he doesn't even give a damn Paul Whalen lets him rot in jail for three years well Biden and blink and and and this Administration is working hard to try to bring him home and the accusation of patriotism, especially Rings Hollow, this is just another American, he's not in a Russian work camp, you know, Cologne, that's a good thing in itself, it doesn't matter if some grinder, uh, or anyone else , you, if you are. an American um and to see an American who received an unjust sentence uh and the president of the United States can get that person out of a Russian penal colony you say look, that's a good day, that's a good day for the United States , but the Republican I respond to everything and it is a word I have used many times about Trump.

It's childish. There's a kind of almost childish inability to just be mature to be patriotic and say I have my disagreements with the president, but this is a good day for Americans. that another one of us, another one of our fellow citizens has come home, now we're going to work to make sure everyone comes home, but of course they're always performing and cavorting and diminishing for that audience of one in Florida, yeah. They're all gestures, always gestures, and it's so fascinating that they kept talking down to this basketball player. This bat, you know what I call them Jane, you know what I call her, what an American and you know what, yeah, and that's why Republicans lose elections. trying to help my old Republican friends, that's why you all keep losing elections, because you're so small and petulant and you're Petty and you don't realize that when someone comes home there's a celebration, when Americans come home there is a celebration.

I'm not comparing Brittany Greiner to the prodigal son. I do mention the Bible verse, where and when even the prodigal son returns home. What's going on? The father and family celebrate and yet this disdain for Gene and by the way he hides behind the American flag. Oh, her. She knelt, she knelt and protested. Injustice as she saw it. Then we should negotiate her return to her home and yet these same people Gene, I haven't heard most of them criticize the insurgents, terrorists, gangsters, thugs who use the American flag as a clubbing weapon. the men in blue, the men and women in blue, yeah, they say it was legitimate political speech, which tells you it's like they're getting smaller and smaller, Joe, actually because I think this is a moment in the one that any compassionate, patriotic, right-wing American thinks.

I should celebrate and I should say this is a great day. She faced nine years in a grim Russian penal colony and now she's coming home and, you know, they supported her a lot. Among the happiest people are the relatives of Paul Whalen, who unfortunately was not able to return home, but they know what Brittany Greiner's friends and family have been through, they have an idea of ​​what she was going through and they are very happy that she This deal was made, you know, I wrote a column. yesterday about why this was a great deal and a great day and, of course, received backlash from petty, knee-jerk Republicans, all parroting the phrase: It was a bad deal, a bad deal and without any I thought and without thinking in how it looked, in how it looked, it's um, you're right, that's why they keep losing elections and they'll keep doing well, and Willie, look at Kevin McCarthy, it's one thing if they're MPs saying stupid things.

I was a congressman once and I said stupid things, but it's another thing if you have the guy who's going to be the next speaker of the house, probably if he can get 218 votes on the floor. just looking small, petulant and childish sometimes sometimes Ronald Reagan taught us this Bill Clinton taught us this sometimes you just celebrate when something happens because you're an American can you imagine? I can't imagine being in that position or any position where I... I'm a leader and I'm so angry that America, an American, is coming home, especially when I'm sitting there defending a president who never tried to take Paul Whalen home not once, yes, and this fits perfectly for them in their divisive issues for many of these Republicans Brittany Greiner, a WNBA star who refused to stand during the national anthem following the murder of George Floyd , look at that detail, they're going well, there's our spot on this topic, so I guess, Reverend Sharpton, we shouldn't be surprised. in general, we have seen all this before, but of course they are frustrations, of course, they are disappointments.

Of course, there is devastation to the Weyland family and to many Americans that he was not part of this deal, but Brittany Greiner is home. and that is objectively good news since the Administration has said that it will continue working to get Paul Whalen back to the United States, thank you.
