Democrat John Fetterman: Emptying Pennsylvania Prisons by a Third Wouldn’t ‘Make Anyone Less Safe’
Nick Gilbertson 19 Aug 2022
Pennsylvania’s radical Lt. Gov. John Fetterman believes law-abiding Pennsylvanians would be no “less safe” with one-third of the state’s prison population prowling the streets.
Fetterman has spent recent days declaring he does not support releasing 33 percent of the state’s prisoners following an ad from his general election opponent, Dr. Mehmet Oz, that says he does.
Oz had already made the claim in a tweet last month, leading to a PolitiFact fact check on July 21, which determined it to be “Mostly False.” The outlet’s Tom Kertscher asserted that “we did not find an instance of Fetterman calling for the release of one-third of dangerous criminals.”
But a clip that Fox News brought to light on Wednesday shows Fetterman agreeing that such a move would not make Pennsylvanians “any less” safe than they are with convicted criminals behind bars.
