Trevor Reed vows to campaign against any lawmakers who slow legislation to help detained Americans
CNN
Trevor Reed, an American citizen and former Marine recently freed after two years imprisoned in Russia, has vowed to campaign against any lawmakers that slow legislation aimed at helping detained Americans.
In an exclusive interview with CNN's Jake Tapper, Reed appeared to take aim at a group of House GOP lawmakers, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, that he said slowed passage of a resolution last year calling for his release. "I'm going to go to every single one of their campaigns and thank them personally about that," he said.
"How do you justify that? That's embarrassing to me that anyone that represent the United States would vote against something like that. I'm sure that the Russians loved that. I'm sure that they're all big fans of all of those congressmen who did that," Reed continued. "That's completely unacceptable to me. it's embarrassing. And I better not see that ever happen again to any other Americans because I promise that I will be at every single campaign that that person runs for the rest of their life to tell everyone that they did that."
