Only on the left would we see the presidential pardon of a non-violent drug offender, a cause that up until now has been a Sorosian shibboleth, greeted with grumbles.
Why? Because President Trump took the initiative to get it done, hearing of the 63 year-old grandmother's plight from big-name celebrity Kim Kardashian. The left loathes Trump more than they value that woman and the cause she represents, so a good deed suddenly becomes a bad deed.
Here's how the left and its media minions took it, starting with the Guardian:
On Wednesday, Trump commuted the sentence of Alice Johnson, a 63-year-old great-grandmother who has spent over 20 years in prison for non-violent drug crimes. It’s the sort of pardon decision previous presidents might well have made, but his likely reason for doing so was uniquely Trumpian. He was lobbied last week by the reality star Kim Kardashian to release Johnson.
Trump has pardoned slightly fewer people than most recent presidents at this stage of presidency, but there is a theme to those he has deemed worthy of clemency. Most were considered by Trump as being unfairly persecuted by the “deep state”. They have been found, by FBI and DoJ investigations, to have obstructed justice, given false statements to investigators, or broken campaign finance.
Many have suggested that Trump is using his pardons as a tool in the Mueller investigation.
Ah, so it’s not about mercy to correct an injustice, it's just all about the Russia Russia Russia thang.
Oh, and tilt your head for this one, the Guardian helpfully adds:
Many in the White House are reportedly dismayed that a pardon was made in this manner, particularly one that flies in the face of the general government policy on drug

Thanks for correction. It was a just decision by Trump.
I’m surprised the leftists aren’t claiming that Kimbo did more than just ask politely (and bat her eyelashes) ...
Got a link handy to that?
He commuted her sentence
Please, again, will someone explain the loathing for our President?
I don’t get it. Is it spiritual? Is it the devil vs God’s people? Is Trump the first one in that category? No other recent President was God fearing and was open to our religious freedoms? His words yesterday for that ramadan thing... that was not the truth, but how would he know. He’s not religious, but he believes we have that right. Melania is impressive in that area.
Pres Trump is fair about everything that is right and good.. he’s against what is wrong and no good for our country.
If God did choose him, I guess the battle would be on for his ouster.. that’s for sure... the devil knows who to attack and mess with... If God did choose Trump... he sure open up a hornets nest of vipers... and if Gpd wamted it cleaned up, Trump is the best choice there was... and willng to serve.
Appropriate and WINNING again......Pelosi to promptly hold a presser and say ‘Trump releases dangerous black granny onto society’.....like McDonalds ad...Lovin It....
Obama could have done the same, but chose to release career criminals who has previously used firearms during their original crime and who went right back to reoffending.
Trump’s genius is that he gets those on the Left to show what they really think.
Maybe Trump ought to announce considering changing his support to be for abortion and then suddenly ever liberal in the country would be against it.
“Only on the left would we see the presidential pardon of a non-violent drug offender, a cause that up until now has been a Sorosian shibboleth, greeted with grumbles.”
Trump could personally perfect the cure for cancer and these filthy vile democrat bastards would still hate him and besmirch his acheivement.
He completely flipped on his stance against major drug dealers with this fiasco so he just might.
She wasn’t pardoned, she got a commutation of her sentence.
Be it known: Onona Johnson
“It was a just decision by Trump.”
And end the “war” on drugs while you are at it. Meanwhile some of history’s most foul criminals (Hillary comes to mind) roam around free as a bird.
Is 20 years in prison enough for inadvertently picking up an eagle feather?
I have unnamed sources that say MANY think this writer is a nitwit.
Bah humbug! Bigot Trump only sows mercy for African-Americans named Johnson! He’s a... nameist!
A Hilliary fan girl gave Hilliary a dream catcher she made, but it had an EAGLE FEATHER in it and she was ARRESTED!!! LOL!!! Probably because there SHOULD have been a CHECK in the dream catcher!
She qualified under Trump’s “Quintessential Entrepreneur” development policy.
