Activists slam Biden for pardoning turkeys, not those on federal death row

Advocates against death penalty note president has spared no one from death row but it's not too late to cement legacy'

Advocates against the death penalty took aim with blistering irony at Joe Biden for pardoning two more Thanksgiving turkeys on Monday - reaching a total of eight fowl reprieved during his presidency - while he has failed to use his powers to grant clemency to anyone on federal death row awaiting execution.

Biden's days left in office are limited, but it's not too late for him to spare everyone from federal death row (and cement his legacy for the better)," the Prison Policy Initiative, a group campaigning to end mass incarceration, said in a post on Instagram.
