Kari Lake Thinks Brittney Griner Should’ve Refused Her Release From Russian Prison to Make Biden Renegotiate
"Kari Lake believes Brittney Griner should’ve waived her release from a Russian prison so President Joe Biden could negotiate a prisoner swap for someone else besides convicted international arms dealer Viktor Bout.
During an appearance on Steven Crowder’s show Louder with Crowder, Lake first asked Crowder to update her on the latest news in the Griner case.
The clip began to circulate Twitter via Jason Campbell.
“Well, I’m sorry, I — I have not followed what’s happening. What’s happening with her today?” Lake said.
“Brittney Griner released, but she was traded for the ‘Merchant of Death,’ Viktor Bout. The guy who they did the film, Lord of War, where he, you know, sold like 30,000 AKs to gorilla drug dealers who were killing DEA agents. So we traded him for her. And you know, this guy was responsible for countless deaths of Americans,” Crowder said."
