Democrats Make Another INSANE Demand Over Coronavirus

President Trump and the coronavirus task force's response to the coronavirus pandemic has been absolutely amazing. They are doing everything in their power to prevent this virus from spreading more than it is already going to.

The measures taken by the White House have been some tough decisions to make, but they were made and as a result, they're going to save possibly hundreds of thousands of lives.

I'm thankful we have a Republican president and not a Democratic president because what they're proposing makes no sense whatsoever.

Democrats have proposed releasing convicted felons from prison in order to keep them safe from the coronavirus. They are demanding Attorney General William Barr release as many as possible because of the rapid spread of the virus into the United States.

According to The Daily Wire,

Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and subcommittee chairwoman Karen Bass (D-CA) did not stop there with their demands as they told Barr to consider releasing prisoners regardless of the severity of the crimes for which they were convicted and regardless of the type of facility they were housed in.

“We call on you, in the most urgent of terms, to do the right thing and exercise [authority to modify sentences of prisoners who present ‘extraordinary and compelling reasons’] and immediately move to release medically-compromised, elderly, and pregnant prisoners in the custody of the [Bureau of Prisons],” the Democrats wrote. “In addition, we urge that you use every tool at your disposal to release as many prisoners as possible, to protect them from COVID-19.”

This is completely illogical. Prisoners are essentially in quarantine already. They're contact with others is restricted already. The virus isn't going to just magically show up out of nowhere, so if you limit who you bring in or actually just keep visitors out, then they'll stay safe as long as the guards do their part as well.

Nadler and Bass also told the Attorney General,

"Your memorandum specifies that priority should be given to inmates in low- and minimum-security facilities and that “serious” offenses should weigh more heavily against consideration for home detention. These limitations, unfortunately, beg the question of what you do with individuals who are at a high risk for contracting COVID-19 who are not in low- or minimum-security facilities, who have been convicted of serious offenses, or who have high PATTERN risk scores. We urge you to consider that even individuals in these categories should be assessed for release because they may be elderly or particularly vulnerable. Pregnant prisoners, in all circumstances, should be released to home confinement forthwith. We further urge you to assess the risk of contracting COVID-19 of every individual in BOP custody, regardless of the type of institution in which they are housed, the seriousness of their offense, or the potential recidivism risk they may present. If BOP decides to keep these individuals detained, what specific provisions are being made for those among them who are at high risk for contracting COVID-19? What plans are being made to communicate information to these individuals, their attorneys, and their loved ones, about the plan for their care behind bars during the COVID-19 pandemic?"
