She wasn't WRONGFULLY She broke the fucking law!

[theraVen]

Thank you Peter. For 4 years Peter has been the only US journalist asking real questions.

[Noahloveless]

Wrongfully detained? She literally tried to smuggle drugs into their country. She deserved to be in prison.

[toddwillard]

How was she wrongly detained? She was in a country that didn’t allow marijuana with marijuana.

[jaypearson]

Can anyone name the real reason she received a promotion? It certainly wasn’t anything to do with her work ethic or truthfulness.

[PhoenixBook]

KJP is what’s wrong with this administration. She can lie without any hesitation.

[OriginalWhiteDevil]

Traded an international arms dealer called "The Merchant of Death" for a WNBA player who was justly convicted. Crazy.

[VisionProStudios]

KJP trying to look like a man is as ridiculous as Ronald McDonald trying to look like Clint Eastwood...

[unkierich]

What does she mean innocent, didn't that lady get caught smuggling illegal drugs into the country?

[cruisemissileUSA]

That trans basketball player was not wrongfully detained

[stevep]

Did the suit come with the promotion? Because neither are fitting.

[philipthomas]

You can tell she's lying because her lips are moving.

[deivissantos]

this is the weakest administration in modern history.

[warrengoss]

Grime was legally arrested, tried and imprisoned. She was a drug smuggler and pervert. They should have IT still locked up.

[brainsironically]

she means "bring *some* Americans home" based on skin color and orientation, and griner wasn't "wrongfully" detained in the first place, she was guilty as hell.
also: I'm surprised she made it through that entire minute and a half video without claiming they were doing better than the Trump admin, which is really all these "press briefings" are.

[Mirio]

Trading a basketball player who no one has ever heard of, for the merchant of death is insane.

[NorthLVLowRoller]

This trade was maybe the worst trade in the history of 🌎

[sharonricci]

What kind of promotion could she possibly get, she is horrible.

[OCP]

They let this guy go on purpose. He's good for business.

[robertjohnson]

Karine, Al Capone called and wants his suit back.
