Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) faulted Barack Obama's former White House staffers after President Joe Biden declined to commute the death sentences for three federal inmates, including two racist murderers.
During a Christmas Eve interview with Fox News host John Roberts, Tenney griped about Democrats like Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, who supports abortion rights but opposes the death penalty.
"So the sanctity of life is not something that she holds dear to innocent children in the womb," the New York Republican told Roberts.
Tenney went on to question Biden's Catholic faith because he declined to commute the death sentences of white supremacist murderer Dylann Roof, Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, and synagogue shooter Robert Bowers.
"Biden claims it's his Catholic faith. How do you spare some and not others just because they look like they were politically motivated?" she opined. "If you're going to believe in the death penalty or not believe in the death penalty, you have to be consistent. And obviously, Joe Biden was not consistent in this."

Tenney suggested Obama "holdovers" at the White House and Marxism were behind the commutations.
"I hate to say this, but it's probably some Marxist-leaning Democrats, Obama holdovers that are staffers because we know that Joe Biden is basically checked out and is not even really doing the work in the White House," she asserted. "But also, why is this guy still the president of the United States when he's incapable of committing, you know, doing this work?"
