Tom Cotton Slams Obama for Shortening the Sentence of Chelsea Manning

Apparently being transgendered is the key to getting an Obama’s “get out of jail free” card.

President Barack Obama said Wednesday that he commuted Chelsea Manning’s sentence because the punishment did not fit the crime.

Manning, an army intelligence analyst who shared classified documents with Wikileaks, was sent prison for 35 years. Obama said that was too long, compared to other leakers.

‘I feel very comfortable that justice has been served and that a message has still been sent,’ the president said.

Obama ordered that Chelsea, who went by the name Bradley at the time of the crime, be released on May 17, 2017, cutting her jail time down to more than six years.

He said today that his decision had nothing to do with pleas from Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, who offered extradition in exchange for Manning’s release.

Republican Senator and Afghanistan veteran Tom Cotton said he was baffled by Obama’s decision in a quick reaction to Manning’s planned release.

‘When I was leading soldiers in Afghanistan, Private Manning was undermining us by leaking hundreds of thousands of classified documents to WikiLeaks,’ Cotton said.

‘I don’t understand why the president would feel special compassion for someone who endangered the lives of our troops, diplomats, intelligence officers, and allies. We ought not treat a traitor like a martyr.’
