President Joe Biden commuting the sentences of 37 prisoners on federal death row to life in prison is a "real tragedy" for the victims of those crimes, Corey Lewandowski told Newsmax on Monday.
Lewandowski, who is a senior adviser for President-elect Donald Trump told "National Report" that those who had their sentences commuted "are the most heinous individuals our society has in its prisons ... and these are the individuals who deserve the death penalty."
He emphasized that "this is a real tragedy to the victims and the families of those victims, who are ... still alive and have to see this terrible event take place."
Lewandowski pointed out that it also, once again, raises "the question who is really running this country. The American people know that it is not Joe Biden."
He said that it is just a "travesty of justice" the way in general in which Biden has used the pardon power of the president, calling his closing acts as chief executive "unparalleled."
He added that "what we have seen over the course of the last six or seven weeks is an administration in free fall [and] a world on fire," with the American people anxiously awaiting the start of the Trump presidency.
Lewandowski also said that, with Trump's threats to take back control of the Panama Canal, the president-elect is stating, "It is time to make sure that our independence and dominance on the world stage is back in play."
Trump "is a president who is making outside-of-the-box announcements to put the world on notice that once again the United States is the world's dominant superpower, and we have a president who understands what that means and is not going to kowtow to our foreign friends or our foreign adversaries."
Lewandowski insisted that Trump is "someone who has a vision of America's greatness long after he has left the White House."
