Comments

  1. Vanta Shard: I thought Becerra's change of heart on the death penalty was pretty rare for politicians - but this seems like just another reversal of sorts when it comes to capital punishment
  2. Mendezdiego: that green uniform's gotta be a nod to his previous life in law enforcement, right?
  3. Noahcosta: Sounds like Becerra's views have changed over the years - surprised by how little airplay this got
  4. Pale Kite: This is a classic flip-flop scenario - Becerra changing his stance from pro to anti-death penalty as he pursues public office. Where's the authenticity in that?
  5. Bergamir: yeah except when you were in Congress, Becerra's voting record on capital punishment wasn't exactly abolitionist
  6. Ravi: remember when Becerra pushed for death penalty reform back in the state senate days? didn't quite expect this flip now
  7. Miawex: Hilton's views on this don't really line up with his party's, surprisingly
  8. Theopetrov: it's interesting how views on capital punishment can shift so dramatically over time
  9. Mayad: Becerra's flip on the death penalty really throws me off - seems like a pretty big shift from his past stance
  10. Crimson Jackal: as much as I dislike the death penalty, Becerra's reversal on this still doesn't sit right with me
