President Trump responded to Joe Biden’s decision to commute the sentences of nearly all prisoners on federal death row including child rapists and killers.
Joe Biden commuted the sentences of 37 out of 40 federal death row inmates after pressure from more than 130 human and ‘civil rights’ groups.
I am commuting the sentences of 37 individuals on federal death row to life sentences without the possibility of parole.
This action is consistent with my Administration’s moratorium on federal executions, except for cases involving terrorism and hate-motivated mass murder. pic.twitter.com/Obxfytxxbb

This is after Biden commuted the sentences of 1,500 people and pardoned 39 others – the biggest single-day act of clemency in history, the AP reported.
Biden also pardoned his son, Hunter, who was convicted of felony gun crimes after he promised he would respect the jury’s verdict.
President Trump promised to accelerate federal executions so Joe Biden commuted their sentences in an effort to derail Trump’s plans.
The 40 inmates on death row have been convicted of heinous crimes and gruesome murders.
Among those who will no longer face the death penalty is a monster who raped two little girls before stabbing them to death.
Jorge Avila-Torrez: In 2005, Avila-Torrez sexually assaulted two little girls, Laura Hobbs, 8, and Krystal Tobias, 9 before stabbing them both to death. Avila-Torrez also strangled naval officer Amanda Snell, 20, to death inside her barracks in Virginia.
Biden also commuted the sentence of a man who raped and murdered a young mother and her baby.
Meet Marvin Gabrion, who was sentenced for the r*pe and m*rder of 19-year-old Rachel Timmerman. He also m*rdered her 11-month-old baby, Shannon.

Trump ripped Joe Biden in a pair of Truth Social posts.
“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 said on Truth Social.
Trump vowed to restored law and order as soon as he is inaugurated.
“As soon as I am inaugurated, I will direct the Justice Department to vigorously pursue the death penalty to protect American families and children from violent rapists, murderers, and monsters. We will be a Nation of Law and Order again!” Trump said.
