Russian state television, which is notorious for propaganda, discussed
the exchange, mocking the United States for swapping Griner instead of
Whelan.
A program moderator referred to Whelan as a "spy," saying that Whelan
is a hero to Americans. However, the moderator specified three things
against Whelan regarding the U.S. winning his release.
"His first problem is that he is white," the moderator said, according
to a translation obtained by Fox News Digital. "His second problem is
he is a man. His third problem: He is a heterosexual.
"This is not something that can be forgiven today. It’s just a
catastrophe. Yes, here Griner beats him in every aspect."
