Biden’s Last Chance to Free Murderers
Is President Joe Biden really going to let the clock run out without freeing every criminal on federal death row? That’s what left-wing groups are pushing for as they demand Biden fulfill his campaign promise to abolish the death penalty. The stakes couldn’t be higher, as some of the most notorious criminals in America’s history—like the Charleston church shooter and the Boston Marathon bomber—are on that list.
With only months left in office, left-wing groups are pressuring Biden to grant clemency to all 40 federal death row inmates. Hundreds of progressive organizations have come together to back this radical move, calling on Biden to act swiftly before his time is up. They argue that now is the time for the president to “act decisively,” as if we haven’t already seen enough harm caused by criminals like these.
Former DA Josh Marquis, who joined me for an eye-opening discussion, couldn’t have been more clear: this is a dangerous move. Donald Trump, on the other hand, has made it clear he wants to expand the use of the death penalty in certain cases, such as for those who kill children or U.S. citizens. The contrast couldn’t be starker.
