(DCWatchdog.com) – Slamming Joe Biden’s decision to commute death row sentences, President-elect Donald Trump has doubled down on his tough-on-crime stance by vowing to reinstate federal executions.
Trump’s bold stance on capital punishment sets the stage for a fierce battle over criminal justice as he promises to restore law and order and pursue the death penalty for violent criminals.
In a shocking move that outraged victims’ families, Biden commuted the sentences of 37 out of 40 federal death row inmates to life in prison without parole.
Trump quickly condemned Biden’s actions, criticizing the decision as senseless and disrespectful to victims’ families.
Trump’s response was firm:
“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!”
Trump’s strong support for the death penalty is not new as he resumed federal executions during his first term.
He plans to target “ra***ts, murderers, and monsters” with capital punishment, emphasizing his commitment to protecting law-abiding citizens from violent criminals.
When revealing his decision, Biden stated:
“But guided by my conscience and my experience as a public defender, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Vice President, and now President, I am more convinced than ever that we must stop the use of the death penalty at the federal level. In good conscience, I cannot stand back and let a new administration resume executions that I halted.”
While Biden claims his decision is guided by “conscience” and “experience,” critics argue it undermines justice and prioritizes criminal leniency over victims’ rights.
By promising to restore “Law and Order,” Trump’s agenda resonates with many Americans who feel increasingly threatened by rising crime rates and lenient soft-on-crime policies.
