Report: Greta Signs Multiyear Renewal With Newsmax
Greta Van Susteren is an honest reporter and a conservative commentator. We’re glad to see her contract with Newsmax renewed. But there’s more. I believe in “Leave no one behind.” So does Greta. She proved it.
Do you remember Marine Sergeant Tahmooressi? I do. What is more important, Greta remembered him when he needed it most. The Marine took a wrong turn outside San Diego and wound up in a lane that forced him to cross the border into Mexico.
The road signs in that area are so confusing that one almost believes they are intentionally misleading. To go left and return to the U.S., you have to turn right. But the sergeant turned left, crossed the border, and was not allowed to make a U-turn.
He had two legally owned rifles in his trunk, which he declared to the Mexican officials. But they threw him in prison, where he remained for over a year and expected to remain indefinitely. The Obama administration did what we expected: nothing.
But Greta did something. Nearly every night, she harped on the case. She didn’t let us forget. And out-of-power Donald Trump did something as well. He sent money to Tahmooressi for legal defense and other purposes.
As the result of the efforts of Greta and Trump, Tahmooressi was ultimately released, no thanks to the Democrat administration. I believe there is a special place in Heaven for those who do not forget people who are unjustly imprisoned, especially if they are in the U.S. military. And I also believe there is a special place in Hell for those who do forget.
Keep doing what you do, Greta, and we’ll keep listening.
