Keith Ellison's (lack of) moral judgment
This happened before Keith Ellison was elected to Congress, which is 12 years before getting elected AG. Still, Ellison should've taken that into consideration before voting to grant Vang's pardon. The good news is that U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio revoked Vang's legal status and deported him:
People thinking that this isn't a big deal don't have a grasp of reality. Secretary Rubio just told Minnesota's DFL governor and Minnesota's DFL AG that he invalidated their pardon of this criminal sex offender.I turned 70 last weekend. I've been a political animal all my life. That's the first time I've ever heard of a pardon getting revoked. Good for Secretary Rubio for putting Americans' safety first. Apparently, AG Ellison hasn't got the right priorities.
Ron Schutz, the Republican-endorsed candidate for attorney general, said he was "shocked" when he learned that the Minnesota Board of Pardons voted to grant clemency to Vang. "When I first read that the Minnesota Board of Pardons, which includes Keith Ellison and Tim Walz, granted a pardon to Tou Vang who had been convicted of sexually abusing a ten-year-old girl for two years, I was shocked," Schutz told Alpha News.Here's hoping that AG Ellison is fired this November. Anyone that pardons a child sex offender who is also a criminal illegal alien should be disqualified from office.Schutz noted that Vang never served prison time despite pleading guilty to first-degree criminal sexual conduct. "A pardon has the effect of setting aside a conviction. From a legal standpoint, it is like waving a magic wand and declaring, ‘this two-year period of sexually abusing a ten-year-old girl never happened,'" Schutz said.
