DEMOCRAT PARTY-CONTROLLED SANCTUARY CITIES IN CRIME MELTDOWN - NYC Crime Statistics: Rape Up 10.9 Percent, Robbery Up 32.4 Percent, Burglary Up 29.1 Percent, Grand Larceny Up 38.5 Percent
To Philadelphia’s Pro-Crime D.A., Murderers Are the Real Victims
Have the Philly police simply just surrendered in the war on crime?
Philadelphia’s historic Strawberry Mansion, built in 1789, is one of seven house museums in the city. At the turn of the 20th Century, the mansion was a popular restaurant (novelist Henry James once dined here) but it later developed into a less- prestigious place to eat until the mansion was restored and opened to the public as a house museum in 1930.
Today, the house stands as one of the city’s crown jewels, thanks to a recent $2,000,000 renovation. Tour groups regularly meet there and the house is also rented out for banquets, wedding receptions and the like.
Sadly, the mansion is located on the east side of Fairmount Park in one of the city’s most dangerous neighborhoods. Its vulnerable location has made it the occasional target of vandals, a situation that has worsened since DA Larry Krasner emasculated city’s criminal justice system by releasing criminals and encouraging the Philadelphia Police Department to not prosecute certain crimes.
An email from a friend who works for the City brought this fact to light:
“On Sunday, a group of black teens raided the Strawberry Mansion house, broke the glass doors on the rental tent and attacked a female worker who was cleaning up after an event. The police did nothing, except to tell the victim that she should not be alone in the park…..In other words, it was her own fault for getting accosted.”
Because the raid on the mansion was not reported by the Philadelphia media, few knew that the city’s largest historic house museum had been vandalized. The raid also brought to light the new police attitude under Krasner: the fact that they told the female worker that she should not have been “alone in the park” when in fact her job demanded it.
This “Krasner-ized” attitude seems to suggest that the police in many ways have admitted defeat in the war against crime and criminals.
Other Philadelphia historic house museums that have been the object of vandalism include Olmsted, the former estate of landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted (the designer of Central Park), and Woodford mansion, built in 1758 by a friend of Benjamin Franklin.
It is said that a perfect storm is created when multiple incidents come together in a kind of “cataclysm bouquet.”
This is demonstrated by yet another email from my city worker friend who told me that his bank in Germantown was not only robbed (again) but that the plate glass windows in the front of the bank were literally blown out, necessitating the closure of the bank for several days.
This comes as no surprise because Krasner’s reformatting of the criminal justice system has so infected the city that almost no venue is safe, be it a bank, a crowded subway train platform, a city WAWA, or a Macy’s Department store women’s restroom where a rapist hides in one of the stalls.
While shootings and murders engender a dramatic but temporary (emotional) impact, the passage of time tends to dilute even the most gruesome murder into a cold statistic. Yet amid these first order crimes there exist dozens and dozens of manifestations of lawlessness that do not involve homicides, but which affect the quality of life in Philadelphia.
I’m referring to the random raids by hooligan teenagers, almost all black, who travel in packs of ten, fifteen and sometimes over 100, and then take it upon themselves to harass individuals on the street, or invade stores like WAWA or a 7-11 en masse where they proceed to shoplift or trash the joint.
In September, a WAWA in Northeast Philadelphia was raided by a large group of students after school dismissal time. The students ran through the store overturning shelves and smashing products, causing thousands of dollars in damage. The same time this was happening a Roxborough area WAWA had to deal with similar but less dramatic after-school attacks.
It’s a given in Philadelphia that whenever a WAWA store becomes popular, it’s only a matter of time before it is raided and trashed by schoolchildren.
Unless, of course, social justice rioters manage to trash a WAWA before the school children can get to it.
In 2020, a WAWA flagship store in the downtown area at Broad and Walnut Streets was destroyed by St. George Floyd rioters.
Several years ago, a large gang of students chased the manager of a downtown Dunkin Donuts in a subway concourse, causing him to die on the spot of a heart attack.
In October, WAWA corporate headquarters, located outside the city in Delaware County, announced that it was closing two Philadelphia stores on Market Street for “safety and security reasons,” and that other stores in the city would have reduced overnight hours.
When asked what he thought of the announcement, Mayor Jim Kenney said, “I don’t think it’s a bad omen at all,” while DA Krasner called it, “Another opportunity for entrepreneurship.” Meanwhile, the normally super-woke Philadelphia Inquirer took issue with Kenney’s nonchalance and stated, “Crime and daily shootings in Philadelphia are major concerns for businesses and residents in every corner of the city.” Ironically, The Inquirer—in blind, robotic, blue city fashion—supported Krasner when he ran for reelection as DA in 2001.
Resistance to the Krasner regime has been growing in the city despite the fact that Krasner was re-elected in 2001 by a 2-to-1 margin. And yet, just like The Inquirer’s initial failure to connect the crime dots to Krasner’s policies, the City of Philadelphia suffers from the same malady.
What is this if not proof that the city still suffers from a developmentally disabled form of “wokeness,” despite the 1,000 murders and 1,000 carjackings over the last 22 months.
Carjackings, once primarily the province of car thieves and their ilk, has now become a favorite crime among gangs of homeless men one might see lingering at traffic intersections carrying signs that read, “Hungry and Homeless.”
And while these crime statistics cause so many Philadelphians to wring their hands and despair at how awful everything is, the ugliness of it all never seems to amount to much in the voting booth. What do they do? They vote Krasner back.
There is some movement to correct that, however.
In October, a Republican state lawmaker from Philadelphia introduced articles of impeachment against Krasner after a state committee investigating his office released a report blaming his policies for increased crime in the city.
“The city of Philadelphia cannot afford to wait any longer for us to take action on what we already know to be true. That Krasner is responsible for the rise in crime across our city due to his dereliction of duty to prosecute the guilty and to protect the innocent,” Rep. Martina White, R-Philadelphia, stated in a news conference.
Krasner retaliated by filing a suit, challenging the validity of the legislative committee. News of the challenge got the attention of Newsweek, which quoted several Krasner defenders in City Council like mayoral contender (and woke activist) Helen Gym, Kendra Brooks and Jamie Gauthier, who charged that the impeachment is a “baseless attempt to unseat a duly elected DA.”
This triad of woke shrills sent out an SOS stating, “We won’t stand for it. It sends out a clear message to Black and Brown voters that their votes don’t matter. As women of color we are no strangers to outsiders attempting to dismiss the power of our voices.”
This pickle barrel of leftist slogans — “the power of our voices,” “Black and Brown voters,” etc.—is so typical of woke Philadelphia in that it turns a blind eye to the realities of crime as well as to the plight of the victims of crime.
While there have been abuses in the past when people of color were unlawfully targeted and prosecuted for crimes they didn’t commit, that era in the city is now gone. The pendulum is now stuck in the opposite direction: criminals of all colors, even blacks who kill blacks, are being set free.
Consider the horrendous murder of a Rite Aid manager, Michael Richardson, a black man and a father of five, in 2003, when three black men walked into his store at 12th Street and Girard, shot him in the leg, and then dragged him, bleeding, into the store office where he was forced at gunpoint to open the safe. When the paltry sum of less than $3,000 was collected, Richardson, pleading and praying to be spared, was shot in the head execution style, by Christopher Kennedy.
At the trial one year later, Kennedy’s accomplices were given mandatory life sentences while Kennedy was charged with homicide and given the death penalty by a jury that was so affected by what they heard that they wept throughout much of the testimony.
In 2019, however, the Philadelphia DA’s Office, in response to a new sentencing hearing appeal by Kennedy’s attorney, declared that it would no longer pursue the death penalty in Kennedy’s case. Kennedy was re-sentenced to life without parole, a change that upset his widow who wanted the death penalty for the killer of her husband, “the love of her life.”
The reason for the DA’s decision to no longer pursue the death penalty were testimonies from Kennedy’s friends stating that as a child the murderer had suffered “unimaginable abuse, neglect, abandonment and, really, torture…”
Crime in New York City increased over the past year but New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) claims data did not show bail reform as being the problem.
The New York City Police Department’s (NYPD) recent crime statistics show that year to date, rape was up 10.9 percent, robbery up 32.4 percent, burglary up 29.1 percent, and grand larceny up 38.5 percent.
During an interview Friday on CNN, Hochul asserted that “the data is not showing” that bail reform is causing the surge in crime, and “There are individual cases, but compared to pre-pandemic and when this was passed, I don’t think there’s a real disparity.”
Meanwhile, a recent poll found the majority of American voters lay blame at the feet of “woke politicians” for the crime wave sweeping across President Joe Biden’s (D) America, Breitbart News reported October 20.

New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Rep. Lee Zeldin said during a recent debate he is running for the governor’s seat to fight rampant crime plaguing the state, according to Breitbart News:
Kathy Hochul supports cashless bail. As soon as it got implemented, she was out there bragging about it. She chose the champion of the defund the police movement and the architect of cashless bail Brian Benjamin [to be her lieutenant governor]. Yeah. That guy who got arrested and had to resign. That was her first big decision to make as governor.
We need to repeal cashless bail. We need to make our streets safe again. I’m running to take back our streets and to support unapologetically our men and women in law enforcement. This is about all of us together — Republicans, Democrats, independents, as New Yorkers — to make sure streets are safe again, to make sure subways are safe again.
Zeldin has taken the lead in the gubernatorial race as he fights to unseat Hochul, per a recent Trafalgar Group poll.
“The poll found that of the 1,198 likely general election voters, 48.4 percent would vote for the Zeldin, while 47.6 percent would vote for Hochul. With four percent undecided, Zeldin leads the Democrat incumbent by less than a point and within the margin of error,” Breitbart News reported Monday, adding Election Day is November 8.
Heartbroken fans watched as medical examiners removed the body of Migos rapper Takeoff after he was shot in the 'head or neck' in a dispute, as police launch a manhunt for his killer.
The 28-year-old member of the hip hop trio was shot at a 'private party' as a group gathered outside 810 Billiards & Bowling Houston, in Texas, at 2.34am.
Police confirmed that the artist died at the scene of the incident, and investigators have launched a manhunt for the shooter or shooters behind the attack.
Troy Finner, Houston police chief, said they believe the assailant was at the party with Takeoff, who he described as 'very peaceful and loving'.
Authorities say they have 'no reason to believe he was involved in anything criminal' and confirmed that two firearms were used in the incident.
They are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with information to come forward so they can apprehend his killer.
A 23-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were taken to hospital in private vehicles suffering from gunshot wounds, which are not thought to be life threatening.

Officers remain on the scene and are investigating the cause of the fatal incident in the early hours
Officers confirmed that his mother had flown in to Houston to speak to them, with the police chief urging anyone with information or footage to come forward.
At a press conference on Tuesday, Finner said: 'There were at least 40 people in that private party. Someone knows who the actual shooter or shooters are.
'Anyone with that information should provide that information to us, and let us solve this situation, and bring justice to this family.
'It doesn't matter how famous you are, anybody who loses his or her life is a life lost.
Similar attacks have become increasingly common on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean in New York City, with the New York Post recently reporting there have been 25 such incidents on NYC’s venerable subway system so far in 2022.
Khan’s London: Police Arrest Suspect After Man Shoved Onto Underground Tracks
The British Transport Police (BTP) have arrested a suspect after releasing footage of a man they were seeking in relation to a member of the public being shoved onto the tracks of the London Underground on October 27th.
The force released video footage of a black male who they were “seeking to identify in connection [with the incident] after he was seen behaving aggressively at Marylebone station on Saturday 29 October” on their website and on social media.
On Thursday, the London Underground, often referred to as the Tube, saw a “series of assaults”, with one man allegedly assaulted at Baker Street station at 11:50 a.m., another allegedly shoved onto the railway tracks at around 12 p.m., and a third coming forward to say he was allegedly “assaulted by the same man on a train from Finchley Road” later on.
Announcing they had found the man they believed to be a suspect, the BTP said: “We’re pleased to update that a 37-year-old man has been arrested after a man was pushed on the tracks and two others assaulted on the Underground last week,” in an update on the case shared on social media.
“He was identified by two off duty officers on the Central Line this afternoon. Thanks to everyone who shared our appeal,” they added.
Similar attacks have become increasingly common on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean in New York City, with the New York Post recently reporting there have been 25 such incidents on NYC’s venerable subway system so far in 2022.
These shoving attacks sometimes prove deadly, as in January of this year when Michelle Alyssa Go, a 40-year-old East Asian heritage woman, died after being pushed into the path of an oncoming train by Simon Martial, a 61-year-old black male.
They have also taken place in Continental Europe, with a Moroccan migrant pushing a woman onto railway tracks in Hamburg, Germany in 2017, and a Tunisian migrant pushing a man onto railway tracks on the Paris Metro in France and yelling “Allahu Akbar!” in January of this year, for example.

Breitbart News also revealed that George Soros’s Open Society Foundation dumped millions of dollars into organizations that encourage illegal immigration and amnesty.
6 injured in shooting outside funeral in Pittsburgh
Federal prosecutors have indicted a violent convicted drug trafficker for fentanyl distribution after a Virginia prosecutor boosted by the left-wing billionaire George Soros released the felon without bail just a day after his arrest.
Alpha Kamara last week was charged and taken into federal custody for conspiracy to distribute 400 grams or more of fentanyl, according to a Justice Department filing unsealed on Monday. The indictment supersedes charges brought by Fairfax County commonwealth's attorney Steve Descano (D.), who on June 27 filed charges against Kamara for the same case, only to release the offender without bail one day after his arrest.
The Justice Department's decision to charge Kamara ensures Descano's office won't mishandle the case. Descano has a history of releasing offenders before trial, dropping charges, and reducing sentences—sometimes with deadly consequences. His office last year dropped felony charges for a man who was charged later for killing two homeless men and wounding three others in New York City and Washington, D.C. In June, the prosecutor released on probation a violent repeat offender who went on to beat an elderly homeless woman to death at a bus stop.
Descano's soft-on-crime approach is typical of Soros-backed prosecutors, who have in the past decade received more than $40 million in donations from the Democratic megadonor. Soros contributed more than half-a-million dollars to Descano's campaign, along with fellow far-left Virginia prosecutors Buta Biberaj in Loudoun County and Parisa Dehghani-Tafti in Arlington County, dwarfing any other donation amounts in the races and helping to oust veteran prosecutors. Fueled by citizens' concerns over rising crime and lenient prosecution, recall efforts have spawned in each of the three Virginia counties, as well as in major cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles. In the Bay Area, city residents in June voted out far-left prosecutor Chesa Boudin by double digits. Top Democrats in Virginia are similarly courting candidates to challenge Biberaj.
Virginia State Police arrested Kamara on June 26 following a high-speed chase involving a stolen vehicle that ended in a crash on a highway interstate. State troopers seized a loaded 9 mm handgun and more than two kilos of fentanyl pills from the wrecked car, and Kamara was charged with driving without a license, failing to stop at the scene of an accident, resisting arrest, eluding police, grand larceny auto theft, and possession with intent to distribute a schedule I substance. He had been out of federal prison and on supervised release for just three days before his June joyride, having served slightly less than the length of his five-year sentence.
Descano's decision to release Kamara before his trial surprised prosecutors who spoke with the Free Beacon, given his criminal record. Virginia Republican attorney general Jason Miyares said the release was "just another example of the criminal-first, victim-last mentality pushed by far-left prosecutors."
"Fentanyl has rapidly become one of the most dangerous opioids to infect neighborhoods across our country," Miyares said. "Nationally, we've lost 105,000 Americans to overdoses from opioids, most commonly fentanyl. Continually letting repeat offenders get back onto the street only encourages more crime and creates even more victims. I am grateful for our partners in the DOJ stepping up when these local prosecutors fail to do their jobs."
The 25-year-old felon's first brush with law enforcement came in 2018, when he was sentenced to five years in prison as part of a major federal crackdown on Blood gang members and violent drug dealers in Northern Virginia. Operation Tin Panda, a joint effort between the FBI and ATF, resulted in 36 convictions and seized scores of firearms and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and assets, as well as hundreds of pounds of drugs, including cocaine, methamphetamine, and heroin. The federal agencies greenlighted the operation following a series of murders and violent incidents in Prince William County.
After publication of this article, Descano's office told the Free Beacon it is not able to participate in the arraignment process for defendants—a fact that former members of the Fairfax County commonwealth's attorneys office disputed—and Kamara's release was decided by a county magistrate. The office also said it learned of the release too late to file a motion to apprehend Kamara before he was in federal custody.
"We have always believed that this individual represented a danger to the public and should be held," a spokeswoman for the office said. "We were therefore dismayed that he was released prior to the point in the proceedings at which our office can be involved and pleased to learn from our partners in federal law enforcement, with whom we were coordinating throughout, that they were taking action to get him off the streets. We will pursue our charges in this case vigorously."
A preliminary hearing for the county charges is scheduled in August.
Descano during his tenure has abolished cash bail, told his attorneys to avoid mandatory minimum jail sentencing, and declined to prosecute many misdemeanors. A policy memo he distributed in his first year as Fairfax County's top prosecutor urged assistant commonwealth's attorneys to seek misdemeanor charges over felonies whenever appropriate. He has reportedly told his staff that they "will never get in trouble for prosecuting light." In one fraught meeting, Descano reportedly told one of his prosecutors to reduce a 20-year sentence by 5 years and to not "listen to victims" because they tend to be "overly dramatic."
In Fairfax, Virginians for Safe Communities has gathered more than half of the roughly 30,000 signatures necessary to trigger a special election.
"It is stunning that Steve Descano would cut loose a fentanyl-dealing gun felon after Kamara endangered the lives of the public and law enforcement," said Sean Kennedy, the president of Virginians for Safe Communities. "The citizens of Fairfax need to know that the single biggest threat to public safety is the chief prosecutor and his disregard for the laws and lives of this commonwealth."
Drug overdose deaths have risen nationwide since 2019, driven by new synthetic opioids like fentanyl, according to the CDC. The Drug Enforcement Administration reported synthetic opioid-related deaths shot up 56 percent from 2020 to 2021.
Fairfax County has yet to release its annual police report. Preliminary data show homicides were up 40 percent last year and are on pace to be higher in 2022.
Kamara is in the custody of the U.S. Marshals and being held without bond pending trial.
Update 7/14/2022 at 4:38 p.m.: This story has been updated with a comment from the Fairfax County commonwealth's attorney's office.
Democrat Senate Candidates Across America Reject Border Security
Democratic Senate candidates across the country have fought against border security measures amid an unprecedented border crisis.
Senator Raphael Warnock
Senator Warnock of Georgia is just one Democrat who has fought against border security measures amid our border crisis. The incumbent Senator has voted against Title 42, a policy that allows authorities to expel migrants on the basis of public health.
Warnock has also voted to fund deadly sanctuary cities, prompting National Republican Senate Committee Spokesman Priscilla Ivasco to remark ”In the face of a growing migrant crisis at our Southern border, Senate Democrats once again chose to side with radical, liberal activists instead of with the vast majority of Americans.”
She also said that their policies will lead to a “permanent cycle of illegal immigration.”
National Republican Senate Committee Spokesman Jonathan Turcotte said in a statement that Warnock and other Democrat Senators “failed their most basic duty to secure the border and keep Americans safe” after they voted against legislation that would’ve ensured that the border wall continued to receive funding.
Warnock’s opponent, Herschel Walker, is endorsed by the U.S. Border Patrol Union, as well as various other law enforcement organizations.
Warnock has benefited from mass immigration, with the Democrat incumbent receiving massive swaths of the vote from Georgia’s foreign-born population in his 2020 race.
The New York Times contends that the Senator’s victory in 2020 was “fueled by the state’s changing demographics,” which could “mean that Georgia has finally achieved battleground status.”
The Washington Post also asserted that Warnock has been given a competitive advantage due to “demographic changes that are transforming the state” as a result of mass immigration. Leftist activists have boasted that they are mobilizing immigrant populations for the upcoming election.
Senator Mark Kelly
Meanwhile, Democrat incumbent Mark Kelly from Arizona has a history of voting against border security. Although he comes from a border state that is disproportionately affected by the crisis on our southern border, Kelly voted to end Title 42, just like Warnock.
In addition, the Democrat incumbent voted against an amendment that would have prohibited the Biden administration from canceling border wall contracts for which funds had already been appropriated.
Kelly even lied about this record during his opening statement in his debate against Republican Blake Masters, falsely claiming that he has stood up against the Democratic Party in favor of border security.
Additionally, the Democrat Senator from Arizona voted against a measure that would have prohibited the Internal Revenue Service from hiring any new agents until the U.S. Border Patrol doubled its forces. Kelly’s opponent, Republican Blake Masters, has been endorsed by the National Border Patrol Council.
Representative Tim Ryan
Democrat Senate candidate Tim Ryan of Ohio waffled on the issue of illegal immigration before becoming a stalwart opponent of border security. In 2018, Ryan voted for a resolution that signaled opposition to allowing illegal immigrants to vote.
But just six months later, Ryan voted against a motion to recommit to the resolution against allowing illegal immigrants to vote. Since then, Ryan has repeatedly voted against border security measures that would make America safer.
While in Congress, Democrat Tim Ryan voted to defund the border wall. Ryan also voted to increase the number of immigrant visas and to fund the transportation of migrants deeper into America, thereby making it more difficult for them to be deported.
John Fetterman
Democrat John Fetterman, who is running for Senate in Pennsylvania against Mehmet Oz, falsely claimed that sanctuary city policies that prevent the deportation of illegal immigrants make “everybody safer.” The Democrat candidate noted, “sanctuary cities is another policy that I very much support.”
Senator Maggie Hassan
Citizens for Sanity blasted Democrat Senator Maggie Hassan of New Hampshire in a newspaper advertisement that read “Thank you Senator Hassan for keeping the border open” and “Sex traffickers could never succeed without friends like you.”
The Senator has called for increased personnel on the border, though she has ignored Biden’s policy of catch and release, which has fueled illegal immigration.
Senator Catherine Cortez Masto
Incumbent Democrat Senator Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada has been accused of feigning concern over the border by her Republican opponent Adam Laxalt. Cortez Masto has supported amnesty and opposed the construction of the border wall.
But the Democrat incumbent spoke out against the Biden Administration’s decision to end Title 42, telling Politico that ending the measure “is the wrong way to do this and it will leave the administration unprepared for a surge at the border.”
Laxalt told Breitbart News that Cortez Masto is “desperately trying to fool Nevadans into thinking she cares about protecting our border,” because she is “trailing in the polls.”
Laxalt also asserted, “The truth is that she’s spent her time in the Senate opposing common sense border security efforts, supporting lawless sanctuary cities, and undermining efforts to stop criminal illegal immigrants.”
Immigration and border security have taken center stage in races across the country as America grapples with a truly unprecedented crisis on our southern border. Roughly 5 million illegal immigrants have crossed our border according to a report from the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
According to one poll, 47 percent of Independent voters say that they trust the Republican Party to handle issues surrounding illegal immigration more than they trust the Democrats. Only 40 percent say they trust the Democrats to handle the issue.
Republicans also hold a two-point advantage when voters are asked who they trust more to handle illegal immigration.
A poll from earlier this summer found that an increasing share of Americans want a decrease in immigration. Forty-one percent of respondents said that they wanted immigration to decrease. A whopping 67 percent of Republican voters want immigration decreased, the poll found.
Recent polling from NBC News found that immigration was one of the top issues for likely voters in the midterms while a poll from Morning Consult also found that it is a top issue.
Encouraging both legal and illegal mass immigration continues to be a primary aim for both politicians and organizations on the left. Breitbart News previously revealed that the wealthy Ford Foundation poured an astonishing $114 million into organizations that push for mass immigration and amnesty.
Breitbart News also revealed that George Soros’s Open Society Foundation dumped millions of dollars into organizations that encourage illegal immigration and amnesty.

2021 VIDEO: John Fetterman Tells Abolish-the-Police Advocacy Group About His ‘Fastest’ Pardon Process in ‘History of Pennsylvania’
Pennsylvania Democrat Senate candidate John Fetterman appeared on an abolish-the-police advocacy group’s show in 2021 to tout his “fastest” pardon process in the “history of Pennsylvania.”
1Hood Power, a “movement” that advocates for political power through “electoral organizing, issues advocacy, and civic education efforts,” hosted Fetterman on its show in January, 2021. Two days before the interview, the group pushed for defunding the police:
1Hood Power markets itself to listeners as supporting the voices of “every black freedom fighter, protester, abolitionist, and activist,” according to its website.
Fetterman, who is the Lt. Gov. of Pennsylvania, appeared on the show to brag about his ability to expedite pardons for felons. “If I had a couple minutes I’d love to talk about pardons. I’m chair of the Board of Pardons and Julie’s joining us, she’s our pardons coordinator for Western Pennsylvania,” he said. “I really want to sell that, because I’m Lieutenant Governor for two more years, and we have expedited pardon processes now. And they’re free, there’s no application fee.”
Fetterman highlighted that the pardons under his supervision have been the “fastest that it has ever” been in “the history” of the state.
“So Julie is an expert on the process and we are sending more and more people through and giving more and more – you know, uh – Just is faster than it’s ever happened in the history of Pennsylvania, quite frankly,” Fetterman said. “So I would just like anyone who’s watching that might need something taken off their record, especially a stupid marijuana conviction from years ago, ridiculous kind of conviction, that now is the time to apply.”
Fetterman continued by suggesting there has “never been a better chance” of getting pardoned under his leadership. “Please don’t waste money on an attorney, like don’t let this process intimidate you or put you off, there’s never been a better – there’s never been a better chance.”
Doubling down, Fetterman again encouraged listeners to “free yourself” of the punishment received for wrongdoing. “I just want to make one last shameless pitch for pardons. Please, you know like, again, truly, in the history of the commonwealth there has never been a better time to get this – to free yourself of something from years ago.”
Fetterman is one of the most radical Senate candidates in the 2022 cycle. Polling shows he is losing to Republican challenger Dr. Mehmet Oz by a few points after Tuesday night’s debate. The betting odds are squarely in Oz’s favor.
Pennsylvania is one of eight Senate swing states that will determine which party controls the upper chamber. Election day is just 11 days away.
