Gavin Newsom’s parole madness continues – Latest News
Let’s put this in language Gavin Newsom can perceive: Setting murderers free doesn’t work out properly for presidential candidates.
That advice appears pressing within the wake of Newsom’s failure to stop the parole release of Alberto Tamez Jr., 75, who was convicted for the 1974 rape and homicide of Genevieve Moreno.

San Luis Obispo County District Attorney Dan Dow advised The California Post that he had tried his hardest to persuade the parole board to not set Tamez free.

Newsom had claimed he was powerless in that case. But he actually has reversed controversial paroles within the latest previous.

Al Gore (within the main) and the George H.W. Bush made use of the difficulty to assault Democratic Party nominee Michael Dukakis within the 1988 presidential marketing campaign.
The adverts run by Bush’s political strategist, Lee Atwater, are nonetheless controversial, however the lesson is that voters — a minimum of outdoors of California — don’t suppose convicted murderers must be let unfastened.

Don’t politicians typically do the suitable factor, even for the incorrect cause?
