Fetterman Lies About Only Releasing Nonviolent Inmates

John Fetterman just tried to defend his crime record by claiming "all” the inmates he helped release were “nonviolent.” 

This is a total lie. 

As chair of the Pennsylvania Board of Pardons, Fetterman helped release at least 10 killers convicted of first-degree murder.  

But that's not all he did. Fetterman also worked with Democrat Gov. Tom Wolf to cut the prison population by nearly 10,000 inmates and bring the state’s prison population last year to its lowest level since 2001. 

And if Fetterman had his way, even more first-degree murderers would be back on the street. Fetterman was the lone vote to release: 

• John Brookins — who killed a 58-year-old woman with a pair of scissors. 
   
• Wayne Covington — who shot a teenager in cold-blood for money to buy heroin. 
   
• Alexis Rodriguez — who beat a Philadelphia police officer’s son with a baseball bat in a racially motivated gang murder. 

Fetterman is just getting started. He still hopes to eliminate cash bail, decriminalize all drugs, release one-third of inmates.
