I think on one of his shows last year he had an ex con on and the theme was that convicts can change and make good. It was so obvious what the Huckster was up to. It stunk.
Especially when one of your pardoned ex-cons goes out west and shoots a couple of policemen in cold blood.
The back story was that the Huckster asked a bunch of black ministers what it would take for them to bus in their congregations to vote for him, and they said, “Pardon our guys!” So he did. And they did. And the pardoned thugs went right back to their old ways.
