The wife of Brittney Griner blasted President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday for not doing extra to get the WNBA superstar out of Russia.

Griner was detained that month for allegedly bringing hashish oil into Russia, where it is illegal.

Showing on MSNBC’s The ReidOut, Cherelle Griner informed host Joy Reid that she has not spoken to her wife since Feb. 17. A call between Griner and her spouse, by way of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, on Saturday in commemoration of their fourth anniversary used to be unsuccessful considering, in line with the Related Press, “the desk on the embassy the place the phone rang was it seems that unstaffed on Saturday.”

When requested by Reid what “the Biden administration could do in a different way,” Griner mentioned, “So, what I imagine that the Biden administration can do otherwise is to if truth be told take the words and the rhetoric — the rhetoric that they have and in shape them collectively.

“For example, an American that’s deemed wrongfully detained, to my working out, from what the State Department is announcing, The usa will negotiate their unencumber. It’s no longer a possibly. It’s a will. They are going to negotiate for his or her release.”

Griner said that whereas she has spoken to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and different State Division officials, “the individual that has the power, the Biden administration itself, being President Biden, Vice President Harris, I have no longer spoken to them. I’ve asked. I’ve requested. And, at this level, it almost appears like they’re not directly telling me no.

“It nearly seems like, not directly, they have instructed us as a household they’re going to not be with us, even supposing everybody is pronouncing, after I do talk to folks: B.G. is a top priority. We all know she’s wrongfully detained. We’re doing the whole lot. However the people who have the easiest energy, no, they have got not spoken to me and my family.”

Watch above, by the use of MSNBC.
