Once again, Donald Trump has lowered the bar for presidential standards by granting clemency to his close friend and political ally Roger Stone -- despite a jury convicting Stone of lying to Congress, witness tampering, and obstructing a congressional committee proceeding.
Let's get one thing straight: this country has two separate justice systems: one for the powerful and one for the poor.
Because of Stone's proximity to the President, he will not serve a single day of his 40-month sentence. Meanwhile, Black and Brown folks are sent to prison for petty, non-violent crimes every single day.
This is why people across our country continue to protest in the streets.
This is why people are demanding major reforms to our criminal justice system.
So, the next time President Trump refers to BLM activists as "thugs," remember that it's Trump and his right-wing cronies who have jeopardized our democracy and made a mockery of our judicial system for personal gain.
As long I'm serving the people of CA-38, I promise to stand up to President Trump's selfish actions, hypocritical agenda, and ignorant policies. To do that, however, I need to win re-election in November. Will you help ramp up my campaign efforts so I can continue to hold the President accountable?
