Democrats acting true to form.
Via Free Beacon:
Republican Sen. Tom Cotton (Ar.) blasted presidential hopefuls Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Ma.) and South Bend mayor Pete Buttigieg for their criticisms of the death penalty.
Warren and Buttigieg denounced the news that the DOJ would resume executing federal death row inmates, which marked an end to a 16-year gap during which no federal executions occurred.
“Our criminal justice system has a long history of mistakes when it comes to capital punishment—especially when it comes to Black and Brown people,” Warren wrote on Twitter. “We cannot let a broken system decide the fate of incarcerated Americans. I oppose the death penalty.”
Cotton hit back, blasting Warren and Buttigieg and writing that she and other Democrats had lost their minds on the issue. He described one of the inmate’s heinous crimes and pointed out the inmate’s conviction occurred under the Clinton Department of Justice.
“I hate to break the news, but the first murderer facing execution is an Aryan Nation white supremacist,” Cotton wrote on Twitter. “He brutally murdered an 8-year-old Arkansas girl & her parents. *Clinton DOJ* sought death penalty. Dems have lost their mind since the 1990s.”
