    Trump has pardoned or commuted the sentence of 3 non-violent drug offenders, one of whom he used in a political ad during . That is propaganda. Obama pardoned or commuted the sentence of over 1,000 non-violent drug offenders and never used one in a political ad.

    Watching Michael Bloomberg use Black lives lost to gun violence as the center of his presidential campaign ads when he was also a major proponent of Stop and Frisk, one of the most anti-Black agendas in history is certainly something.
