Here’s
another of the men whom Biden left behind to extract a black lesbian pothead who hates America because she embodies his rotten base.
A teacher from Oakmont who’s been detained in Russia for more than a year remains in custody.
This summer, Butler native Marc Fogel was sentenced to 14 years in a maximum security prison after he was caught with 17 grams of medical marijuana for a spine condition.
The U.S. State Department had previously asked Russia to release American citizen Fogel on humanitarian grounds. Prior to that request, a group of nine bipartisan senators called on Secretary of State Antony Blinken to immediately designate Fogel as “wrongfully detained.”
Not a priority. If Marc wants to become one, he needs to claim that he changed gender, learn to play basketball and jeer the national anthem.
He’d still have to overcome the handicap of “being assigned white at birth”.
Fogel, 61, was arrested in August 2021 for possessing 17 grams of what he said was medical marijuana. The former history teacher, like Griner, was arrested in Moscow when the pot was found in his luggage.
Fogel was sentenced to 14 years in prison in June — just over a month before Griner was handed a nine-year sentence.
“Have there have been any similar efforts regarding [the release of] American Marc Fogel, who was also in Russia, also arrested on marijuana charges? How is his case different — or why [are] the actions for Marc Fogel different than these?” asked NPR journalist Franco Ordoñez.
“We take seriously our responsibility to assist US citizens abroad and are monitoring the situation. Any specifics on Marc Fogel or any others, I would refer you to the State Department for additional information on those specific cases,” Jean-Pierre said. “Every case is different. Every case, there are different ways that I can talk about them. So I don’t want to get ahead of that. So I would refer you to the State Department.”
It is different. Marc isn’t a leftist celebrity who checks all the identity politics boxes.
Notice how little you’ve heard about him. Or about all the other Americans in Russian prisons. According to Russian authorities earlier this year, there were
17 Americans in Russian prisons.
Unfortunately, they’re all the wrong race, sexuality or gender. And they’re not celebrities.
This dirty deal is a reminder that the Biden administration is racist, and does everything for people who fit its identity politics criteria while doing nothing for those who don’t.
Commentary:
Seems that if ordinary decent, productive, law-abiding citizens have the United States State Department and Diplomatic Corps acting for them, they don't need enemies, they're already screwed.
Biden and his merry racist Maoist crime syndicate then went into overdrive reacting to their woke liberal lunatic base and gave Griner special treatment above all other US citizens held in Russian custody and gave up our most valuable Russian asset to get her back. It’s completely insane, unfair, inequitable, and unjustifiable. But, why would we expect anything less of Biden Inc?
Not unlike our erudite Supreme Court justice that testified under oath that she didn’t know what a woman was. She, too, checked the right boxes (though I’ve no idea if she is or is not a dyke, as I don’t recall hearing anything about her sexuality one way or the other; however, I feel quite sure that if she WERE a dyke that would have been made widely known by an adoring press).
