Mr. Trump, Suzan B. Anthony Must Decline Your Pardon, Instead U Can Work in Ending Voter Suppression?
No body could think of this crazy thing but crazy Donald wanting to Pardon (does she care? She is been dead for a long time!). Why? To turn it around to himself because everything has to come around to be an asset to him.someone told him about her history which he had never even heard of her name before, even though he carried her in his pockets with $1.00coins in the 1970’s. She was jailed as Trump thought was for voting illegally. That might have been the charge but she was arrested for voting when there was a women voter suppression scheme; you know like the schemes Trump likes like with the post office. They offered to let her pay a fine but she asked for a jury trial which was denied to her. And that is part of the point: If Trump could give her a jury trial the issue will be solved but I don’t think even buddy Putin could do that. For a Pardon like she was a criminal was offensive to everyone that knew her and would have been for her. Even if you don’t know a bout her it might make you wonder, what is up with this man? When I saw I tried to imagine the benefit for him but even then it gives you another snap chat of how a the sick mind of this man works, or doesn’t

On Tuesday, President Trump officially pardoned leading suffragist Susan B. Anthony, who died in 1906. He noted she was arrested in 1872 for voting before it was legal for women to do so.
"She was never pardoned!" he exclaimed in a White House ceremony. "Did you know that she was never pardoned? What took so long?"
Well, it was partly that Anthony would not have wanted to be pardoned, according to some historians who've pointed out that the activist did not think she'd done anything wrong. Joining those voices is the executive director of the National Susan B. Anthony Museum and House in Rochester, N.Y.
"Objection! Mr. President, Susan B. Anthony must decline your offer of a pardon," Deborah L. Hughes wrote in a statement. She continued:
Hughes pointed to Anthony's support of sex education, fair labor practices, excellent public education, equal pay for equal work and elimination of all forms of discrimination.
She suggested that the best way to honor Anthony would be taking a clear stance against voter suppression and advocating for human rights for all.
