On Christmas Day, former President Donald Trump took to social media to express his displeasure with Joe Biden's decision to commute the sentences of 37 federal death row inmates. Trump, a long-time supporter of capital punishment, didn't mince words when he told the pardoned prisoners to go to hell. This was part of a longer social media post where he also sent holiday greetings to political opponents and jokingly addressed the Canadian Prime Minister as "governor. " The commutations were praised by many, including Martin Luther King III, as they highlighted the racial disparities in the U. S. justice system.
Biden's decision was driven by his conscience and a desire to prevent potential executions under a new administration. The 37 inmates, many of whom are people of color, now face life imprisonment without parole. Trump's history with the death penalty is well-documented, having reinstated federal executions during his presidency.
Trump's Christmas message was a stark contrast to Biden's efforts to reform the justice system. It's important to consider how our leaders' words and actions impact public opinion and the lives of those affected by their policies.
