Cowboys star rips Biden over Brittney Griner release, walks back scathing tweets
Fox News ^ | 12/08/2022 | Joe Morgan

Posted on 12/08/2022 9:14:31 AM PST by simpson96

The world woke up Thursday morning to the news that WNBA star Brittney Griner had been released from Russian custody roughly 10 months after being arrested for bringing vape cartridges containing hashish oil through a Moscow airport.

Griner was freed from a Russian penal colony in exchange for Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout, a U.S. official confirmed to Fox News.

Notably, the prisoner swap left another U.S. citizen in Russian custody.

Paul Whelan, a retired U.S. Marine veteran, was not involved in the exchange. Whelan was sentenced to 16 years in 2018 for espionage charges.

Whelan’s absence in the deal did not go unnoticed by Dallas Cowboys star linebacker Micah Parsons.

"Wait nah!! We left a marine?!! Hell nah," Parsons posted to his Twitter account.

"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."

"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."

What mistake? The Biden administration didn’t bring home the marine.

Never apologize to these traitors. It only emboldens them for more outrageous trickery.

My guess is the NFL and/or the Cowboy Organization told him to apologize or look for a new job.

What’s to bet that the second she gets off the plane in the US, she immediately starts badmouthing the country?

Biden had to do this, he had to pander to his homo america hating base. Imagine if he had done the same swap but let out Whelan instead of Griner, the reaction of the leftists they would have blown a gasket..instead he did to Whelan what he did to those 13 brave American military members in Afghanistan, he let them rot

Libtards thought he was a Trump supporter so he had to issue a disclaimer before the NFL cancelled him

I wonder if the timing of the release was to generate headlines if Walker won the Ga. run off?
