DRUGS: “Former President Trump in a Fox News interview advocated for imposing the death penalty on convicted drug dealers, even as anchor Bret Baier pointed out that the policy would have applied to Alice Johnson, a woman Trump granted clemency to and promoted in a Super Bowl ad for his 2020 campaign.
Trump told Baier that he believed the country had to enact stronger punishments against drug dealers to bring down crime, including the death penalty.”
