During a campaign stop in New Hampshire on Wednesday, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton came out against abolishing the death penalty -- the first time she has addressed the issue during the current presidential campaign.
"I do not favor abolishing" the death penalty, she said, qualifying her position by adding that its use should be "very limited and rare," according to press reports.
Clinton has previously acknowledged how the plight of mass incarceration and police brutality affect communities of color disproportionately, and on Wednesday she conceded the death penalty is often administered in a discriminatory way, according to a reporter who attended.
I have to say I am a little saddened to hear this. I could see very few reasons ever why this should ever be allowed. I agree with O'Malley completely when he says the death penalty
"is [a] racially-biased, ineffective deterrent to crime, and we must abolish it."
At least she has been consistent in opposing it. I just really hoped this would one one of the topics she would eventually evolve on.
