Democrat John Fetterman During PA’s COVID Prison Break: ‘We Should Have Already Been Doing This’
Breitbart ^ | 14 Sep 2022 | NICK GILBERTSON

Democrat nominee for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, said the state should have been freeing criminals “all along” after it began releasing thousands of inmates during the Chinese coronavirus pandemic.

As Gov. Tom Wolfe’s (D) office noted, the state released more than 8,300 prisoners, or nearly 20 percent of the inmate population, from March 2020 – October 2021 during the coronavirus pandemic. While speaking on a recently unearthed virtual call, which was published to YouTube by the group Families Against Mandatory Minimums (FAMM) in December 2020, Fetterman expressed that the state government “should have already been doing this all along.”

“There are a lot of thoughtful people that have turned their lives around, they have accepted responsibility, and, or they don’t even belong there as Naomi’s case was, and it’s so arbitrary, and it’s so hard. It’s tragic,” said Fetterman, referring to Naomi Blunt Wilson, who was present for the meeting. Her life sentence was commuted in 2019 after a recommendation to Wolfe from the Board of Pardons, which Fetterman chairs as lieutenant governor.

“So COVID has, I think, exacerbated that. But it hasn’t changed my perspective all that much, quite frankly, because we should have already been doing this all along, and that’s why we have the second highest population, second only to Florida,” Fetterman continued.

No Republican has demanded that Fetterman step down or has called out his health issues.

The RNC should have been demanding that Fetterman withdraw.

From Ann Coulter:

Dr. Mehmet Oz, Republican Senate candidate in Pennsylvania, recently attacked his opponent, the ridiculous Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, for a pro-criminal record that would embarrass George Soros. Specifically, he criticized Fetterman for employing as aides on his campaign Dennis and Lee Horton, who spent 27 years in prison for a horrific armed robbery murder.

Fetterman is apparently up by 6.2% in the polls against Oz.

Only 4 points in the more reliable Trafalgar. That was a month ago. After a month of attacks Oz should narrow down this lead.

To think this asshole is going to be the next PA Senator is nothing short of stunning.

Fetterman is such a bad guy. We are so screwed if he gets elected. So far no one has stolen my Oz & Mastriano signs.
