WATCH: Gleeful Jeanine Pirro Says Brittney Griner Won’t be Taking a Knee Anymore
WNBA star Brittney Griner was sentenced this week to 9 years in prison. The United States is working on getting her freed from jail and has discussed prisoner exchanges.
Since Griner has dabbled in activism, many Conservative pundits have decided that she deserves whatever punishment she gets. During a Friday segment, Jeanine Pirro boasted that Griner won’t be able to take a knee in a Russian prison.
The host said during The Five:
“Let’s talk about Brittney Griner. I’m tired of everyone saying she’s a hostage and she’s a political prisoner and all this stuff. She’s been going to Russia since 2014, right? Playing basketball there, making a million dollars or whatever she makes. And she knows what the laws are in Russia. She’s got a vape with cannabis and hashish oil in the vape. She doesn’t deny that it’s hers, she doesn’t deny that she packed it, she just says, I was in a rush. She had a trial, she was supposed to testify at the trial. The trial started on July 1st, July 7th she was supposed to testify. She chose not to testify and instead had a friend, I think, give character testimony. And instead of testifying, she then decided to plead guilty. So let’s just take off the table that this is improper what has happened to her.”
Pirro then continued, “What I’m saying is, let’s just take off the table the woman who hates the national anthem, who probably is not going to hear it for the next nine years if she’s over there. And that’s something else that tees the hell out of me. You know, you don’t want to hear it, you don’t even want to come out of the locker room? Forget you’re going to take a knee.”
