He ran for lieutenant governor with the explicit goal of trying to release criminals from prison and has endorsed politicians, writes ZacharyFaria. While he stammers his way through the final weeks of the campaign, Fetterman can’t mask those facts.
The Pennsylvania Department of Corrections's 2022 report on recidivism determined that 40% of inmates released from the department’s custody go on to re-offend within one year of release, and 64.7% go on to re-offend within three years. The re-arrest rate has increased since 2000, and the re-conviction rate has increased since 2010. Recidivism from 2006 releases to 2016 releases has increased for crimes across the board, including murder, rape, aggravated assault, and robbery.
Fetterman also boasted of his opposition to “tough on crime” policies while courting the endorsement of a left-wing anti-police group. Fetterman has endorsed Larry Krasner, the Philadelphia district attorney who has overseen a surge in violent crime in the city thanks to his “reform” policies, which allow criminals to cycle in and out of jail. Under Krasner, Philadelphia set a new record for homicides last year and is on pace to break that record once again this year.
— John Fetterman May 17, 2021 Fetterman has attempted to run from his criminal justice record, but there is no erasing it. He released an ad featuring a Democratic sheriff claiming he is “sick” of people talking about Fetterman and crime. Fetterman “voted with law enforcement experts nearly 90% of the time” on the Pennsylvania Board of Pardons, the sheriff tells us.
Fetterman can’t run from these facts no matter how hard he tries. He ran for lieutenant governor with the explicit goal of trying to release criminals from prison and has endorsed politicians like Krasner who have tried to make life as easy as possible for criminals. While he stammers his way through the final weeks of the campaign, Fetterman can’t mask those facts or the fact that he doesn’t have the appropriate judgment to serve as a senator.
