https://t.co/7Ltgx7N2S1 @JakeSullivan46 @POTUS thanks for finally getting to the right place on Marc. Now, BRING HIM HOME. How about before the inauguration? If not, @realDonaldTrump can this be one of your first acts? He and his family have suffered long enough. #freemarcfogel

[Ben Johnson @flyingroti]

@Tim_Walz as someone who probably has legions of adoring former students, know that Marc Fogel was that special teacher for so many of us. Please speak with @VP about the steps the DOS needs to take to #freemarcfogel.

@POTUS @VP @Tim_Walz @KamalaHQ @JakeSullivan46 Thanks for coming to the burgh today but please remember my teacher, Marc Fogel isn’t there and should be. Please bring him home. #freemarcfogel

@jakejsullivan I thought it might be worthwhile for you to read what I wrote about #marcfogel around 2 years ago. The overall radio silence between the government and Marc’s supporters, family and students is where statements of frustration come from.

[Ben Johnson @flyingroti]

@POTUS You’ve forgotten Marc Fogel. #freemarcfogel

[Ben Johnson @flyingroti]

Mr Fogel has been on my mind all week as I’ve brought Wyatt & Josie to KL to see where I grew up. The news of his exclusion from this prisoner swap is crushing. @POTUS it’s not too late to do the right thing. #freemarcfogel

@POTUS @secblinken @FLOTUS Good riddance in November. Happy for PW and EG but I will always remember yours as the administration who ignored a teacher and his 95 yo mother when it wasn’t in the best interest of your image. Shameful. #freemarcfogel

[Ben Johnson @flyingroti]

@potus Evan and Paul and…you forgot…#marcfogel. I want so badly to support you. Please stop ignoring an American teacher who is also wrongfully detained. #freemarcfogel

[Ben Johnson @flyingroti]

Congrats to @BritneyGGriner for getting her # retired. @POTUS @SecBlinken how about bringing home American teacher #marcfogel who remains a political prisoner in Russia being held for the same crime. #freemarcfogel

[Ben Johnson @flyingroti]

@SouthwestAir thanks for getting our 10 year anniversary off to a great start. Cancel our direct flight 12 hours before, then delay the multi stop rebooking, then have your “computers” go down so no one can help figure out how to rebook. A 1 hr flight turning into a 9 hr journey.

https://t.co/w0yjJ3J5Ua @POTUS @secblinken Listen to the bipartisan calls from our reps to #freemarcfogel. It’s been 2 years that he’s been in a labor camp as a political pawn. Not the way we should treat a beloved career educator or Americans abroad.

[Ben Johnson @flyingroti]

⁦@POTUS⁩ ⁦look out your window. This afternoon, and maybe give @secblinken a call. This beloved teacher of Americans overseas needs your help. #freemarcfogel https://t.co/hlyaa7khU3

[Ben Johnson @flyingroti]

Thanks @SteveDaines and @McFaul for continued advocacy for #marcfogel. I continue to be concerned that @SecBlinken and @potus have selective hearing and uneven attention, but all we can do is continue to advocate for a beloved teacher.

[Ben Johnson @flyingroti]

⁦@POTUS⁩ ⁦@SecBlinken⁩ ⁦@brittneygriner⁩ As the news cycle rightfully gears up to celebrate BGs WNBA return, the 94 yo mother of a beloved teacher works to find help in Washington to bring her son home from a similar nightmare. #marcfogel https://t.co/XxqPeQUgWY

[Ben Johnson @flyingroti]

https://t.co/5kpeFXQk6b @POTUS @SecBlinken Your silence on this American teacher has not softened resolve to bring him home. #freemarcfogel

[Ben Johnson @flyingroti]

@POTUS @SecBlinken How about an update on #marcfogel? His family and former students continue to hope that you, the only ones with the power to rescue him from his wrongful detainment, will do so. He taught so many state dept. children, how can DOS let him suffer in labor camp?

[Ben Johnson @flyingroti]

https://t.co/YXcbJCQRO0 @POTUS @SecBlinken Please don’t forget #marcfogel.

[Ben Johnson @flyingroti]

https://t.co/vmWAUX1mfi thanks to @RepMcCaul and especially @GReschenthaler for keeping @POTUS and @SecBlinken reminded of a beloved teacher. Can we please bring him home? #freemarcfogel

[Ben Johnson @flyingroti]

@POTUS @SecBlinken Thank you for bringing home Britney Griner. #MarcFogel has not yet even been declared wrongfully detained and is suffering in labor camp. His former students call on you to get him home to his loved ones as you did for #BG. #freemarcfogel

[Ben Johnson @flyingroti]

@SecBlinken @POTUS Are you still working to bring home #marcfogel? The many American students he touched over the years still worry about him every day. The US govt got #bg home. PLEASE #freemarcfogel
