Just before debating Democrat candidate Joe Biden last week, President Trump pardoned an Indiana man who was serving life in prison for a non-violent crime, Faithwire reports.
President Trump pardoned Charles Duke Tanner because his life imprisonment sentence was a non-violent, first offense drug charge.
Tanner was imprisoned under Democratic Presidential nominee Joe Biden’s 1994 crime bill which landed millions of Black Americans in the prison system.
In a video uploaded to Twitter, Tanner thanked President Trump and credited God with his pardon.
“First and foremost, I wanna give all the praise and glory to God,” he said in the video. “Thank you for hearing me. But President Trump, I just want to thank you for giving me a second chance and believing in me and reading my petition. I’m just so thankful.”
The video was uploaded to Twitter and tweeted by Alex Bruesewitz, a conservative advisor to politicians, foundations and organizations.
