CNN: 'Devout Catholic' Biden's Faith Led Him To Commute Death Penalty—And The Babies?
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/23/2024 7:05:03 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Today's episode of CNN This Morning began its segment on Biden's commutation of the death sentences of 37 federal death row convicts with a clip of then-Senator Biden, in 1994, proclaiming "I'm a death penalty supporter," and bragging "I'm the guy who wrote this bill with my own little hands," a bill that added 50 federal death penalty-eligible crimes.

I encourage people to watch Biden's display. Even death penalty supporters could cringe at his unseemly hubris.

Fast-forward 30 years, and now Biden defenders are explaining his decision yesterday to commute the death sentences of 37 convicts on federal death row in terms of his religious faith. Substitute host Rahel Solomon described Biden as a "devout Catholic" and suggested that religion could explain his decision. Democrat aide Hyma Moore claimed that the decision reflected the fact that Biden "cares deeply about his faith."

What kind of moral compass leads “devout Catholic” Biden to commute the death sentences of people guilty of heinous murders, but do nothing to protect the lives of utterly innocent unborn children?

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

As the indigenous people of Japan would say, Ainu it.

OF COURSE he did it because he is a GOOD CATHOLIC DOING GOD’S WILL.

I would pray that he repent and truly come to Christ, but in his demented state that is probably more than his brain can handle; only a miracle will save him.

That occurred to me too. If he is applying his alleged faith to policies, he should oppose abortion, as a matter of policy.

Yes,the Catholic Church *is* firmly opposed to the death penalty. But the Church is *just* as firmly opposed to abortion. I wonder what angers God more...executing a person who did,in fact,commit a horrible murder of an innocent person...or the killing of an innocent baby?

Biden aint doin….whoops I was about to say shit but that’s all he is capable of doing now, well tant and drooling. Anything that comes out of the White House is either from Jill or their communist staffers, commuting the sentences of and pardoning murderers has nothing to do with Joe and CHINO faith.

You’d think by now, every single “report” by every single “journalist” involving Biden would begin with the disclaimer that Biden is completely unaware of any of these decisions and the person or persons making these decisions is yet to be discovered . . .

When one of the criminals crucified with Jesus reviled Him, the Good Thief rebuked that criminal, saying “...we have been condemned justly, for the sentence we received corresponds to our crimes...” and Jesus didn’t say, “You shouldn’t be put to death either.”

That’s because Jesus was a Jew and knew that “The only law that appears in each one of the Five Books of Moses is that murderers be put to death.” (D. Prager)

There’s nothing in the Bible condemning the death penalty.

Biden didn’t determine these pardons he just signed the papers. Hunter’s pardon was pushed by “Dr” Jill and other members of the Biden crime family. The other pardons were on orders from the cabal and likely Soros. Biden at this point is too senile to know what he is doing.

In the video clip in this article, you’ll hear Republican Lance Trover say:

“It makes me wonder who is actually making these decisions at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in the waning days of this administration, because it sure does not seem like it’s Joe Biden.”

Indeed it’s why they are working so hard to eliminate it.

We are now at the tipping point of being a 3rd world country Trump is the only hope we have for it to never return to it.
