Felon-Elect: I’ll “Vigorously Pursue” Federal Executions

“Joe Biden just commuted the Death Sentence on 37 of the worst killers in our Country. When you hear the acts of each, you won’t believe that he did this. Makes no sense. Relatives and friends are further devastated. They can’t believe this is happening! As soon as I am inaugurated, I will direct the Justice Department to vigorously pursue the death penalty to protect American families and children from violent rapists, murderers, and monsters. We will be a Nation of Law and Order again!” – Trump, posting today to Truth Social.

Criminal justice advocates have been pushing Biden to take action on this issue after he pledged to end the federal death penalty during his presidential campaign — especially with Team Trump preparing another execution spree.

By commuting death sentences, Joe Biden has stolen 37 photo ops from Trump. Trump in the past has called for those “caught selling drugs to receive the death penalty for their heinous acts.” Does that include Ronny Jackson or does he get a pass b/c he handed them to Trump?
