Biden Did Not Pardon Murderers [View all]

I've been watching MAGA cult elected officials lying in interviews on cable networks about President Biden pardoning murders. These lies are left unrefuted by the interviewers, even on CNN. What Joe Biden did was commute death sentences to life in prison. These criminals will never see the light of day. These were not pardons. Many people, and almost every allied country in the world, does not permit the death penalty for any crimes. Joe Biden has a problem with the death penalty, but his commutation of the death row sentences to life in prison without parole, does not put the public in jeopardy. It is not the equivalent of Trump putting very dangerous criminals back on the street with no restrictions, including purchasing and carrying weapons.
