GOP lawmakers respond after Biden swaps Russian 'death merchant' for Brittney Griner, excluding Paul Whelan
Fox News
Several Republican lawmakers and political commentators have criticized President Biden for excluding for US Marine Paul Whelan in a Russian prisoner swap announced Thursday.
"This was likely not a simple ‘choose him or her’ situation. But if it was, you choose the guy that served our country, Paul Whelan. We should get an explanation from this administration immediately," Crenshaw wrote.
Those same sentiments were shared by Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Illinois, who simply asked: "What about retired marine who has been unjustly detained for years, Paul Whelan?"
