President Donald Trump issued a pardon to former Tennessee state Sen. Brian Kelsey, just 15 days after that Republican began serving a 21-month prison sentence for a campaign finance conspiracy criminal conviction.

“God used Donald Trump to save me,” Kelsey, 47, told CNBC in a phone interview Wednesday, a day after his release from a federal prison camp in Ashland, Kentucky.

“His election saved me from the Biden” Department of Justice, Kelsey said.

A bit sad that the efforts of a few to get this clip to go viral have not had much effect:

that Republican

Funny how it's almost never a Democrat, despite the manifest corruption of so many Democrats. Except maybe Illinois, where it's almost always a Democrat.

I need to know more about this. There’s plenty of corrupt politicians on both sides, although the Dims seem to have a large lead at this point.

“Autopen Joe” would be offended if he wasn’t busy wheedling an ice cream cone off Doc Jill...
