Earnest slams Republicans for hypocrisy on Manning pardon
Look at who they’re in bed with.
Click here for reuse options!White House press secretary Josh Earnest said GOP lawmakers have put on “an astonishing display of intellectual dishonesty,” citing their support for President-elect Donald Trump.
“Those are the same Republicans on Capitol Hill who endorsed a man for president who praised WikiLeaks, defended the integrity of Julian Assange even as he was trashing the patriotic men and women who work in the United States intelligence community,” Earnest told reporters at a breakfast sponsored by the Christian Science Monitor.
“The argument they make against Chelsea Manning,” he added, “requires the American people to willfully ignore those comments from the president-elect, the man they endorsed.”

>> Earnest slams Republicans for hypocrisy on Manning pardon
It’s an important distinction — this wasn’t a pardon. It was a commutation.
Manning has spent seven years in prison much of it in solitary confinement. He is in such a bad situation that he has repeatedly tried to commit suicide.
Seems like enough punishment to me.
