Trump shares Christmas message 'GO TO HELL,' just 24 days from his Inauguration
Biden commutes sentences of 37 inmates on death row
President Joe Biden announced Monday that he is commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 people on federal death row, changing their punishments to life imprisonment. The decision comes just weeks before President-elect Donald Trump, a vocal supporter for growing capital punishment, takes office.
WASHINGTON, D.C. - President-elect Trump had some choice words for what he calls "Radical Left Lunatics."
Trump's Christmas message
Per FOX News, Trump wished a "Merry Christmas" to "Radical Left Lunatics," told the 37 prisoners whose death row sentences were recently commuted by President Biden to "GO TO HELL!" and more.
"Merry Christmas to the Radical Left Lunatics, who are constantly trying to obstruct our Court System and our Elections, and are always going after the Great Citizens and Patriots of the United States but, in particular, their Political Opponent, ME. They know that their only chance of survival is getting pardons from a man who has absolutely no idea what he is doing," Trump declared on Truth Social.
"Also, to the 37 most violent criminals, who killed, raped, and plundered like virtually no one before them, but were just given, incredibly, a pardon by Sleepy Joe Biden. I refuse to wish a Merry Christmas to those lucky "souls" but, instead, will say, GO TO HELL! We had the Greatest Election in the History of our Country, a bright light is now shining over the U.S.A. and, in 26 days, we will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. MERRY CHRISTMAS!" he added.
Trump went onto to say, "Merry Christmas to all, including to the wonderful soldiers of China, who are lovingly, but illegally, operating the Panama Canal (where we lost 38,000 people in its building 110 years ago), always making certain that the United States puts in Billions of Dollars in 'repair' money, but will have absolutely nothing to say about 'anything.'"
President elect-Trump vows to 'vigorously pursue' capital punishment
President-elect Donald Trump promised on Tuesday to "vigorously pursue" capital punishment after President Joe Biden commuted the sentences of most people on federal death row, partly to stop Trump from pushing forward their executions.
President Biden commutes 37 federal death row inmates
President Joe Biden announced Monday that he is commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 people on federal death row, changing their punishments to life imprisonment. The decision comes just weeks before President-elect Donald Trump, a vocal supporter for growing capital punishment, takes office.
Biden harped on his dedication to ensuring an effective justice system after sharing the news.
"I’ve dedicated my career to reducing violent crime and ensuring a fair and effective justice system.
Today, I am commuting the sentences of 37 of the 40 individuals on federal death row to life sentences without the possibility of parole. These commutations are consistent with the moratorium my Administration has imposed on federal executions, in cases other than terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder.
Make no mistake: I condemn these murderers, grieve for the victims of their despicable acts, and ache for all the families who have suffered unimaginable and irreparable loss.
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."
