Democrats, Republicans react to prisoner swap with Russia

Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are reacting to Thursday's prisoner swap with Russia. Republican Rep. French Hill of Arkansas, co-chair of the Congressional Task Force on American Hostages and Americans Wrongfully Detained Abroad, joins "America Decides" to unpack the deal.

This is history Americans should be happy.

Other countries were involved give thanks to them but especially Germany

[mfreeborny]

I can not believe America this is a great days imagine if it was one of your families. Countries got together. All this Americans care about what was given are you kidding me… give honor and pride when is due and Biden came thru no matter how you put it, , he did it

[stiggiestigwood]

Green Acres Grumbler Kennedy surprisingly mild here.

[ferventtrickster]

Its refreshing to hear once in a while a republican with true common sense 👏👏

[OdinsRavenwood]

Can someone trade Trump for someone or something in Russia 😂😂😂😂

[MrCrackermann]

Speaker Johnson needs to bring the Republican border bill to the floor, and start working for Americans, not Trump

President Biden, VP Harris and the Democrats are doing things Trump and the GOP can never achieve.

With tasks such as this accomplishment, swaping hostages out for prisoners, bullying is not negotiating and negotiating, as well as compromising, is absolutely essential. This is exactly why this will never happen with Trump in office. I really resent every news media anchor interjecting Trump into the conversation. It's not necessary, it's unimportant and no one cares what Trump thinks, says, feels or would do in regards to a situation that would never happen with him in office.

BIDEN-HARRIS accomplished what Trump failed to do.

Good job President Biden for bringing Americans back home. Old boy Trump didn’t do nothing

And Britteny Griner actually broke the law for a vape pen with drugs and was released in 10 months in exchange for a Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout. Glad for her but what about others still there for years that did not do anything wrong. All political.

[maiamckinney]

I thought Trump told Putin to wait until he was back in the WH? Not as good as friends as he thought.

[Dave-jtlp]

Maybe glad we get our people home?Who would think?

[kensweetser]

Its to bad we don't have a president to make peace

[raulescandon]

Great diplomatic job by President Biden!

[MistyMeaner]

Germany and the Biden administration did what Trump could not. This is a great day for diplomacy and international cooperation!

[davidmarshall]

Good for Rep. Hill for the integrity & honesty he's showing. Kansas for Kamala --

[raulescandon]

And a big blow to Trump's political sales pitch.

Thankfully Brandon Griener is playing in the olympics.
