In a stunning final act of his presidency, Joe Biden has taken it upon himself to spare the lives of 37 death row inmates, some of whom have committed the most heinous crimes imaginable. With just weeks left in the White House, he seems to be wrapping up his tenure with a controversial move that has conservatives scratching their heads. The list of those spared includes child killers and mass murderers, a group that seems far removed from any sense of remorse or pity.
As the clock ticks down on Biden’s presidency, the timing of this decision raises eyebrows. One has to wonder if these commutations are part of a misguided legacy-building attempt or simply another chapter in a saga of questionable judgment. After all, these inmates won’t be facing justice for their monstrous acts and, instead, will be serving life sentences without the possibility of parole—happy holidays indeed.
Biden Commuted the Sentences of 37 Death Row Inmates. Here's How Trump Responded.

Not one to shy away from the spotlight, former President Trump used Christmas Day to weigh in on Biden’s decision with characteristic flair. In a lengthy social media post, he expressed his disdain for the decision that would free violent criminals back into society, clearly putting Biden in the crosshairs. Trump’s comments about wishing a Merry Christmas to those he feels are deserving were rightly directed at the innocent victims rather than the “lucky souls” that Biden has chosen to protect. It’s hard to imagine a more astonishing contrast between a leader who prioritizes victims and one who champions the wrongdoers.
Biden, in his own words, expressed a commitment to stopping the death penalty at the federal level, claiming to act upon his conscience and experience. However, one has to question what conscience can justify keeping alive those who have committed unspeakable acts against innocent lives. This newfound empathy for the worst of the worst seems remarkably misplaced, especially as families of victims grapple with the reality of their loved ones’ murderers walking free from the ultimate punishment.
As for the future, only three inmates linked to severe acts of terrorism remain on the federal death row. So much for sending a strong message to criminals, right? It’s evident that Joe Biden’s approach leans more toward leniency for criminals rather than justice for victims, leaving many Americans to wonder what exactly is guiding the current administration’s moral compass. As they say, sometimes a blind eye to justice is just as damaging as an outright crime, and there’s no denying that Biden’s decision sends a chilling message about the prioritization of public safety over political correctness.
