2020 Democrats Rush To Defend Child Murderers, Rapists From Death Penalty

The field of 2020 Democratic presidential candidates rushed to defend five convicted child murderers over the last 24 hours in response to the Trump administration’s announcement that it will resume federal executions and will start with those five criminals.

Attorney General Wiliam Barr made the announcement on Thursday where he said the following criminals would be executed:

Daniel Lewis Lee, a member of a white supremacist group, murdered a family of three, including an eight-year-old girl. After robbing and shooting the victims with a stun gun, Lee covered their heads with plastic bags, sealed the bags with duct tape, weighed down each victim with rocks, and threw the family of three into the Illinois bayou.

Lezmond Mitchell stabbed to death a 63-year-old grandmother and forced her nine-year-old granddaughter to sit beside her lifeless body for a 30 to 40-mile drive. Mitchell then slit the girl’s throat twice, crushed her head with 20-pound rocks, and severed and buried both victims’ heads and hands.

Wesley Ira Purkey violently raped and murdered a 16-year-old girl, and then dismembered, burned, and dumped the young girl’s body in a septic pond. He also was convicted in state court for using a claw hammer to bludgeon to death an 80-year-old woman who suffered from polio and walked with a cane.

Alfred Bourgeois physically and emotionally tortured, sexually molested, and then beat to death his two-and-a-half-year-old daughter.

Dustin Lee Honken shot and killed five people — two men who planned to testify against him and a single, working mother and her ten-year-old and six-year-old daughters.

Nearly all of the 2020 Democratic presidential candidates attacked the Trump administration for seeking the death penalty against these heinous criminals.

Former Vice President Joe Biden tweeted: “Since 1973, over 160 individuals in this country have been sentenced to death and were later exonerated. Because we can’t ensure that we get these cases right every time, we must eliminate the death penalty.”

Mayor Pete Buttigieg tweeted: “Justice is not equally distributed in our country. Too often, race and geography determine who lives and who dies. We should be joining the ranks of modern nations and abolishing the death penalty—not expanding its reach.”

Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) tweeted: “This morning, the Department of Justice announced they would resume capital punishment. Let me be clear: capital punishment is immoral and deeply flawed. Too many innocent people have been put to death. We need a national moratorium on the death penalty, not a resurrection.”

Far-left billionaire Tom Steyer tweeted: “Another huge misstep by the Trump Administration. Their leadership on what it means to be an American couldn’t be more misguided. Mr. Barr is a national disgrace.”

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio tweeted: “Our governments have not been able to get to the truth consistently enough to have the right to take a life. I’ve always opposed the death penalty and this time is no different. The Trump administration should leave the death penalty in the past where it belongs.”

Rep. Tim Ryan (D-OH) tweeted: “Our criminal justice system is broken and the death penalty is blatantly prejudiced and unevenly applied. We know innocent people have been executed by the state for crimes they didn’t commit. That should never happen in this country.”

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) tweeted: “Our criminal justice system has a long history of mistakes when it comes to capital punishment—especially when it comes to Black and Brown people. We cannot let a broken system decide the fate of incarcerated Americans. I oppose the death penalty.”

Failed Texas U.S. Senate candidate Beto O’Rourke: “Abolish the death penalty.”

Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) tweeted: “There’s enough violence in the world. The government shouldn’t add to it. When I am president, we will abolish the death penalty.”

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) tweeted: “I believe the death penalty is a violation of human rights, a glaring signifier of our broken criminal justice system, and a moral wrong. Our government should not be in the business of execution.”

Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) tweeted: “The death penalty is not justice—it’s an immoral and ineffective form of punishment that has killed innocent people, and is biased against people of color, low-income, and those with mental illness. We should abolish the death penalty.”

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) tweeted out a statement suggesting that the death penalty was racist:

Julian Castro tweeted: “As the Attorney General moves ahead with the first federal executions since 2003, I’ll say it again: We should abolish the death penalty. It is wrong.”

Cindy McCain on Jeffrey Epstein: ‘We All Knew What He Was Doing’

Image
Appearing earlier in January at an event on human trafficking, Cindy McCain, widow of the late Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), said that everyone was aware of deceased pedophile Jeffrey’s Epstein’s alleged sex crimes, and she criticized law enforcement for waiting so long to arrest him. A partial transcript is as follows: AUDIENCE MEMBER: I’m going to shoot straight. The perception among a lot of young people is that there is an untouchable ring of governmental and economic elites in this country that not only benefit, but actively participated in sex trafficking. Jeffrey Epstein was an example. Robert Kraft was arrested not for from here on trafficking charges. In terms of this as a grassroots movement, are these power players a priority for us right now? Can we even touch them or is this a pipedream we need to address in the future, somehow? CINDY MCCAIN: It’s like everything. It hides in plain sight. Epstein was hiding in plain sight. We all knew about him. We all knew what he was doin...

Two photos went viral Wednesday night on Twitter for showing communist China reportedly censoring remarks made by eVice President Mike Pence and then resuming the video signal when Democratic vice presidential nominee Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) began talking. Nathan VanderKlippe, Beijing correspondent for the Canadian newspaper Globe and Mail, shared two photos from the debate, writing: “China censored Pence’s comments on China. Signal returned when Harris began talking again.” A short time later, VanderKlippe posted a video to Twitter, writing: “What it looks like when China censors a vice-presidential debate after a question about China is asked – and then lifts the blackout when conversation appears set to move on.” In the video, Harris can be seen saying, “Susan, the Trump” which is then followed by her saying, “administration’s perspective, and approach to China has resulted in the loss of American lives, American jobs and America’s standing.” During the debate, Pence made stro...
