This Administration is a disgrace to this country.

How are you gonna trade a criminal for a person who was caught doing weed. When we still have thousands locked up for weed related crimes.

[thomasbrazil]

Left a military guy and traded the merchant of death for Brittney great job Joe.

[WOPMasterG]

Now that this man is free - how many people will die because of your actions Joe?

[shinyalien]

He kept saying wrongly detained... I didn't think there was a debate that she broke their law?

[poppystars]

Let’s get this strait, the federal government keeps pot a schedule one, but we will trade an arms dealer who killed Americans for a pot head. We should have got her back but the hypocrisy is ridiculous!

[benscheidegger]

The fact that he did this for her and not a marine is a huge disgrace. Let's go brandon!

[OrtizMandom]

Why help someone who didn’t have respect for this country….

[wolf-uqtb]

🤣🤣 so Russia got exactly what they wanted. Way to negotiate joe you the best.

“This is the worst deal in the world maybe ever”-Donald Trump

[chadeike]

"She represents the best about American " is this some kind of joke

[archiebunker]

What a trade the worlds most dangerous arm dealer for a anti-american drug addict

[pepi]

Oh yeah amazing swap. An arms warlord for a niche celebrity.

[gamingrevelation]

Sure get the Female basketball player out of Russia for holding a little bit of Pot. Not like we have a US Veteran still behind bars being accused of spying

[djchinotsp]

Great trade Joe. a weed head for a killer. bring back the Marine you left

[JasonBoslow-mykk]

If only Marc Fogel could have made a round ball in a basket and been famous, maybe he would have been released, too. He has the same story, only he was a professor that taught US diplomats instead of a famous basketball player.

[jeanine]

Absolutely disgusting to bring her home instead of the man that’s been there rotting for years unfairly. Talk about the WMBA being overvalued. Hopefully she understands that laws apply to her too!

[chaseme]

This is what identity politics looks like when the country is circling the drain.

[jasonb]

She’s not a hero, she put her self in that situation. All she had to do was know the laws of other countries she traveled to.

Meanwhile, a marine rots in a Russian prison.
