In a bold
move, Donald Trump today posthumously pardoned Susan B Anthony for convicted
crimes nearly a century and a half ago.
In his signing ceremony, Trump touted
“This is the greatest thing ever done for women. Nobody ever thought to do this, but I did. Now that she is pardoned she can go walk free in heaven – or wherever she is now – and say Donald Trump had the courage to pardon me when no one else would. He’s the greatest President there ever was for women. Nobody knew that you could pardon dead people. I’m thinking maybe of pardoning some more dead women like Lizzie Borden – terrible miscarriage of justice."
In his statement, he went on to say “This was a sad time where
many people felt it was fine to discriminate against women by denying them the
right to vote. I have no such prejudice. I want to deny everyone equally the right to
vote (well except for my base of loyal supporters)".
