Kamala Harris: "We need a national moratorium on the death penalty, not a resurrection"

Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris 1m
This morning, the Department of Justice announced they would resume capital punishment. Let me be clear: capital punishment is immoral and deeply flawed. Too many innocent people have been put to death. We need a national moratorium on the death penalty, not a resurrection.

The innocents of the person matters little to me. Please don't take that as a shot at Kamala. I greatly respect her tweet and she is on the right side. Well done.

After years of fighting to get rid of it, Connecticut abolished it a few years ago. The trend has been to get rid of it, that Barr and trump would resurrect it after all these years is criminal in itself.
