The Democratic governor of Minnesota defended his pardon of a pedophile: "We cannot be judged by a bad day"

The ultra-democratic governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, publicly defended his decision to pardon an undocumented immigrant of Laotian origin who was convicted of raping a 10-year-old girl in order to save him from deportation.

Tou Lue Vang, a 42-year-old illegal immigrant for whom a deportation order was pending due to committing an abhorrent crime, received a pardon from the Minnesota Board of Pardons on June 10. Fortunately, the Trump administration intervened last Friday, revoking Vang's legal status and deporting him to his home country, Laos.

Kamala Harris's former running mate criticized this decision and sought to exonerate the pedophile. "Did that make us safer?" the Democratic politician told local press. "Did it make the children left behind more stable? Did it improve the idea that we shouldn't all be judged by our worst day?" he added.

Thanks to Trump's intervention, Walz's operation failed

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Vang's deportation on Friday and told Fox News: "Americans should never live in fear that foreign sexual predators, protected from deportation by their own elected officials, could endanger them or their children."

"That's why I ended his legal status in the United States," Rubio continued. "Vang has already been expelled from our country and will never again pose a threat to any American," declared the high-ranking Trump administration official.

Vang, who entered the United States illegally in 1994 and obtained his legal status through a Clinton administration initiative, admitted to repeatedly sexually abusing a 10-year-old girl between 2002 and 2004. He was arrested by authorities and sentenced to a decade in prison, a conviction that caused him to lose his legal status and be subject to a final deportation order.

According to Walz, Vang deserved to be pardoned and reintegrated into society because, among other factors, his victim supported his release and Attorney General Keith Ellison, a radical Democrat, approved the measure.
