  1. We traded her for the merchant of death a national arms dealer who's killed hundreds and thousands of people! Love how everybody is a victim nowadays for their own actions!

  2. She should be finishing her sentence here in America…F her

  3. They swapped her for a arms dealer who is known for selling weapons to other countries to hurt Americans and other nations, what has the country become she had illegal drugs on her and yet a man who serves our country is still being detained over there, Biden and this country sucks…

  4. Did they put him in with other men? I know heโ€™s used to being able to unfairly play against women, so I expect he would have also been demolished if housed with men.

  5. Glad the Americans in charge of Big Sports get to keep their meal ticket. Wouldn't want them to go without. Victor Bout for Griner. Awesome trade. Really shows our "strength".

  6. Griner just proves certain people get special treatment. She rightly belongs in Russian jail.

  7. This clown brought shame on America

  8. This interview is why the corporate media numbers are tanking. Where exactly is the journalism here?

  9. It should have been left there…..what a waste

  10. Is this a trans person? Or a woman Iโ€™m confused

  11. This country sucks. They should've brought home the people who served there country before they brought her home..

  12. More people have messaged bad things about her than have attended her games.

  13. Brittney belongs in PRISON
    This is a dude
    We traded this guy for the Merchant Of Death, what a JOKE

  14. And Russia got back an arms dealer 10/10 good trade

  15. You mean drug trafficker . Wrongfully detained ? No wonder they got rid of Tucker Carlson , so this b.s. ABC is spouting could go unchallenged . Biden traded an INTERNATIONAL ARMS DEALER for a drug-trafficking-gay-basketball player , only to pander to his " woke " army of flying monkeys .

  16. Stay strong ๐Ÿ˜‚yeah like she did!??? She was crying and begging day 1

  17. So glad to have this criminal prize of America back. Iโ€™d hate for either one of her fans to miss her

  18. @ABC – Do a segment on what the Merchant of Death has been up to these days. I'm sure we'd all me much more interested in that story.

  19. Because her actions a renowned arms dealer and war criminal is free but she is the victim of course. It's a freaking joke

  20. Didnโ€™t this guy get caught ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

  21. Don't tell me she's going to cash in. Better than her are being put to death. Shame

  22. Gotta learn to hide your weed better when trying to smuggle it past border security in a foreign country! Such a HERO! LOL That poor teacher is still rotting in prison for the same offence, but he doesnโ€™t bounce a ball for a living. He only teaches children!

  23. She wasn't a victim. She broke the law of the country she was in and was legally detained in that country. Why is that so hard for some people to understand? Just because Democrats believe in lawlessness in America, doesn't mean other countries are on the same page as them.

  24. Wrongfully detained???? She got caught with having an illegal substance on her! How is that considered "Wrongfully detained" ?

  25. Thanks for speaking about those people who are/were wrongfully detained and that too on right time which will help to prevent lives of people from deteriorating. I don't understand motive behind detention …..8

  26. She went over there intentionally being a criminal but you're talking like she was a victim .

  27. vape cartridges containing a total of 0.702 grams of hashish oil were confiscated from Ms. Griner's luggage when she arrived in Russia

  28. We left a patriot.
    And we got this back.

  29. NOT FAIR

    OTHERS HAVE BEEN THERE LONGER THAN HER SHOULD HAVE BROUGHT THEM BACK FIRST

    TRADE A RECREATIONAL DRUG USER FOR A MERCHANT OF DEATH

    NO WAY

    HER OWN FAULT SHE WAS THERE

    ONLY OBVIOUS YOU DON'T BRING CONTRABAND WITH YOU WHEN TRAVELING TO AND FROM RUSSIA

    HER OWN FAULT

    UNJUST AND UNFAIR

    BOO ON BRITNEY ! ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿ‘Ž

  30. Griner wants to help wrongful detained! Well griner wasn't, got caught with drugs and arrested.
