This guy has a real hard on for executions.
Earlier this year, the dozens of inmates on Louisiana’s death row had a glimmer of hope: In April, Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, used his last state of the state address to call on the legislature to abolish executions. He declared them exorbitantly expensive, difficult to administer, and often wrong, pointing to more than 50 reversals of sentences and six full exonerations of death row inmates in the last 20 years… But, in Louisiana, the governor does not have sole authority to commute death sentences; granting clemency requires the approval of the Louisiana Board of Pardons and Committee on Parole. In July, the board, acting on advice from Attorney General [and now Governor-Elect] Landry, denied all 56 petitions outright and en masse.
He looks like green mile dude grown up
Dude looks like an AI generated image of desantis.
Attorney General and now Governor-Elect
So he won a race that he was in charge of, just like Kemp in Georgia.
Wanna bet that he too refused to recuse himself from election oversight duties and then actively cheated, also just like Kemp?
The state Secretary of State runs the elections in both those states (Kemp was indeed Secretary of State when he won the Gubernatorial election). I think there are 3 states who don’t have a Secretary of State (Alaska, Hawaii, and Utah), but I don’t think it falls to the Attorney General in any of them.
Oops, brainfart! My apologies!
Kemp still abused his SSoS office to cheat his ass off, though 🤷
