55. I'm sure you remember then Senator Joe Biden's stance on the DP & his crime bill back then too

Joe Biden said in a 1992 speech that criminal justice legislation he was pushing was so strict that “we do everything but hang people for jaywalking.” Two years later, his signature crime bill made dozens of additional offenses punishable by death.

But in a little-noticed remark earlier this month in New Hampshire, the Democratic presidential front-runner seemed to offer a decidedly different stance on the death penalty.

Given enough time, people can change who they are and how they feel about a lot of things. AOC distrusted him then, but she is warming up to President Biden now, and that's a good thing.
