Original Note:

He does not provide the critical context that these people had their sentences changed from death to life in prison with no chance of parole. https://x.com/SenJohnKennedy/status/1871203871718318402 https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-commutes-sentences-37-federal-death-row-inmates-final-month-presidency
