Manchin Absolutely Shreds Biden After Horrific Pardons

The reason you generally have pardons or commutations is because there's a problem with the case. Maybe improper prosecution or some question about the evidence, for example.

In the case of the Jan. 6 defendants, there are a variety of questions along those lines -- unfair prosecution and/or sentences.

But in the case of the 37 cases of commutation of the death penalty by Joe Biden, it was just because Biden -- or the handlers behind him -- thought that the death penalty was wrong. There weren't any questions in any of the cases he commuted. Biden/the handlers were replacing their judgment for the rule of law. That isn't the way pardons are supposed to work. Biden talks about the rule of law, but once again, he's stomping all over it.

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Florida) thinks it really isn't Biden behind this, but it was the unelected leftist bureaucracy behind him finally getting in the things they want as he's going out the door.

But on top of that, if you think about it, as CNN commentator Scott Jennings observed, it's not even a principled stand on the death penalty anyway because it doesn't include the remaining three prisoners on death row. So what Joe Biden is really saying with the 37 is that somehow those deaths, those people, those children, and the people who were killed are somehow worth less. And that's shameful.

Even for Biden, who has done a lot of terrible things during his occupation of the White House, this was pretty bad. It was so bad he now has people like outgoing former Democrat Sen. Joe Manchin (I-WV) excoriating him over it on X.
