Trump considering pardon for boxing legend after call from Sylvester Stallone


Source: The Hill


BY BRETT SAMUELS - 04/21/18 03:33 PM EDT

President Trump said Saturday he’s considering a posthumous pardon for boxer Jack Johnson at the urging of actor Sylvester Stallone.

“Sylvester Stallone called me with the story of heavyweight boxing champion Jack Johnson. His trials and tribulations were great, his life complex and controversial,” Trump tweeted.

“Others have looked at this over the years, most thought it would be done, but yes, I am considering a Full Pardon!” he continued.

Johnson was the first black heavyweight champion of the world. An all-white jury convicted him in 1913 for transporting a woman across state lines for “immoral purposes,” which was illegal under the Mann Act.

No democrat president thought to give this guy a pardon in all the years that have passed since his conviction. 

Even the dipshit Barry had the chance to pardon a member of his own race but he didn't think to do it. 

If Trump does it, it will drive the shitgibbons at democrat underground absolutely nuts.

3. Are there no LIVING people of color who've suffered injustice that he could actually help?

No, just a symbolic gesture to reaffirm that he has pardoning power, and a small bone to "prove" that no one is less racist than him!
Is that Barry's excuse for not pardoning the guy?

5. Not just an all-white jury, but an all-white male jury
Not just an all white all male jury, but an all white all male all democrat jury.

7. A meaningless gesture in a weak attempt to prove he isn't a racist.

A pardon isn't much use for a guy who's been dead for 70 years.
That's why Barry didn't do it.

I would prefer he spend his limited time focusing on the problems America is facing today,but what's the harm? It's a symbolic act that might take 20 minutes of his time and harms no one.

Obama was too busy slinging pardons to millions of drug offenders, including drug dealers with ties to gangs who are now back on the streets ruining lives again because of him.

No shit.  Trump could fall over dead today from hardened arteries from his McDonalds addiction and the DUmmies would be pissed because they couldn't continue to make insane comments about his daily activities.

The RedEye Radio guys proffered this scenario last year: What if President Trump intoduced single payer/government run health care?  The left would find a way to despise it.
