A Choice Between Americans….

 “‘We did not forget about Brittney, and we have not forgotten about Paul,’ Biden said. ‘This was not a choice of which American to bring home’.”

Bull.

Whelan is just a straight, white, working class, dime a dozen, military veteran citizen with no particular political significance to Biden, while Griner is a black, lesbian, professional basketball player of significantly more political importance to him.

This was EXACTLY “a choice of which American to bring home.”  And they released a man who is a threat to our security to make it happen.

There is a reason why the Russians were willing to let Griner go.  Russia views the US as morally bankrupt, a condition that they believe will eventually lead to our downfall and a Russian victory over us.  They are letting Griner come back to the US as both a perceived victim and a perceived hero - because of which, one who will influence others, particularly young people, to support and participate in her perversion to further the moral demise of the US.

And they aren’t wrong.  Griner’s return WILL contribute to the continued moral decline of the US.

Well done, Mr. President.  Well done.
