Cowboys’ Micah Parsons has received backlash over his comments about the Brittney Griner prisoner exchange.
On Thursday morning, Parsons was not happy that Griner was freed but former marine Paul Whelan was left behind in Russia.
Wait nah!! We left a marine?!! Hell nah https://t.co/3AeQx8K9OZ

Parsons went on to clarify his stance and apologized for his tweet.
My last tweet was no shot at Brittney Griner. I’m super happy she’s back home as she should be. I just have family who have served and it’s crazy to me the President wouldn’t bring him home too. I’m the furthest thing from a trump supporter but I’m not a fan of Biden either.

then the best outcome was accomplished. I pray Mr. Whelan comes home but am extremely happy for Brittney and her family. I am not too prideful to admit when I’ve made a mistake.

It didn’t take long for Parsons to trend because people were calling him “MAGA Parson” and “Pass Rush Limbaugh”

That Micah Parsons tweet was insane but the jokes have been hilarious. They called that man Pass Rush Limbaugh and Maga Parsons and I’m dying laughing
