‘All the Praise and Glory to God’: Trump Grants Clemency to Indiana Man Serving Life for Non-Violent Drug Crime By Tré Goins-Phillips for Faith Wire
GNN Note – President Trump is the absolute worst racist in the history of racism. Unlike Kamal Harris who is a champion of the black community by incarcerating thousands of black men for minor drug crimes, keeping people incarcerated to use as slave labor and a wide variety of other humanitarian crimes. But President Trump is the racist.
In case you forgot…

President Donald Trump granted clemency to an Indiana man serving life in prison for a non-violent drug offense just one day before he went head-to-head with Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, who has faced intense scrutiny for his role in the passage of a 1994 crime bill many have condemned for contributing to the wrongful incarceration of black Americans.

In a video posted Wednesday, Charles Duke Tanner, a former professional boxer from Gary, Indiana, thanked the president for granting him clemency.
“First and foremost, I wanna give all the praise and glory to God,” he said. “Thank you for hearing me. But President Trump, I just want to thank you for giving me a second chance and believing in me and reading my petition. I’m just so thankful.”

As it turns out, Tanner has a connection to Trump. Twenty years ago, he said, his second or third fight was at a casino the president owned.
When Tanner, who had no previous criminal record, was arrested in 2004, he was accused of leading a drug conspiracy. He was originally sentenced to life behind bars, which was later reduced to 30 years in prison. Initially slated to be in prison until October 2030, the president ordered his release after 16 years.
