Brittney Griner, a WNBA star who was detained in Russia for cannabis possession and who was exchanged in a prisoner swap by the United States and Russia for a Russian arms dealer, has come under attack by the right wing. Why did President Biden choose a “basketball player” instead of getting Paul Whelan, former Marine, imprisoned there for far longer?

The attacks grew ever more comparative: she was a criminal. (She did plead guilty to the possession charge, for which she received a nine-year sentence for a guilty plea.) It’s clear that, not soon after she was captured, Vladimir Putin got frustrated with the (lack of) progress in the Ukrainian war and with Biden’s perceived role in that stagnation and decided to use her as a chit. She was a pawn, and Biden rescued her.

Instead, the right wing has passed her up and is demanding why Whelan was “left behind.” That is a loaded phrase in some circles! This is a well-chiseled chip, faceted on many sides. Left Behind was a series upheld and/or venerated by

--White supremacists.
--Christian nationalists.
--Southern Baptists.
--Pentecostals and other charismatics.
--the Endtimes-minded.

And, of course, there is the cowardly meaning, in the context of the military and abandoning one’s buddy/mate/sworn brother.

The phrase is a potent symbol. Then, we have Tucker Carlson sermonizing that phrase, emblazoning it onto the graphic of Whelan in his Marine dress, literally trading in on the uniform.

If only the soldier was a gay transgender democrat supporter, that would have made him more important than an American hating drug smuggler.

We've been over that elsewhere; the Russians made it clear that it was "Bout for Griner or no one" and we took the deal. In addition, the Whelan family was informed that Paul would not be part of the prisoner swap and they gave their assent for the swap to occur.

But yeah, slag on Griner for daring to criticize America in the past.

Then you don’t make a deal for one criminal to trade off a worse criminal. And I’m not believing they made that clear, it’s more like Brandon made it clear we’re more interested in one person over another
