A Grave Injustice: The Commutation of David Gentile and the Erosion of Equal Justice

President Trump commuted the sentence of David Gentile, a private equity executive who had served less than two weeks of a seven-year sentence for his role in a $1.6 billion fraud scheme that victimized thousands of hardworking Americans. This act of clemency for a convicted white-collar criminal who devastated the lives of small business owners, veterans, teachers, and nurses is a shocking betrayal of justice and an affront to the rule of law.

President Trump has escalated his anti-immigration rhetoric and policies following a shooting by an Afghan national that killed one National Guard member and critically wounded another, vowing to permanently pause migration from 'Third World Countries' and strip citizenship from naturalized migrants who 'undermine domestic tranquility'. This dangerous demagoguery exploits tragedy to scapegoat entire ethnic groups and threatens the very foundations of American democracy and our values of liberty and justice for all.

This reprehensible attack on a free press and the facts themselves, while two National Guard members fight for their lives, is a chilling assault on the very foundations of our democracy.

The Hemp Ban Betrayal: How Backdoor Legislation Threatens American Enterprise and Democratic Principles
