Joe Biden has proudly referenced his roots in Scranton, Pennsylvania, on countless occasions.
But after he pardoned a judge involved in a cash-for-kids program that jailed thousands of juveniles in northeastern Pennsylvania, the Electric City is no longer feeling that spark of love.
The newly elected Pennsylvania Republican State Rep. Brenda Pugh called on officials in Scranton to remove Biden’s name from expressways labeled in his honor after he pardoned former Luzerne County Judge Michael Conahan.
...
That now-disgraced official was convicted after taking kickbacks in exchange for sending juveniles to jail for committing minor crimes, or committing no crime whatsoever,
Pugh said the fact that Biden pardoned Conahan was a disgrace
...
Conahan’s conduct is forever a blight on Pennsylvania and is a slap in the face to the victims and their families who deserve justice to be served for his atrocious crimes...
His clemency places complicity and a stamp of approval on his behavior,” she continued. “Children are among the most vulnerable Pennsylvanians. This decision is nothing short of a travesty and his clemency is a miscarriage of justice.”
Pugh is far from the only Pennsylvania official to express concern over the presidential pardon.
Even Pennsylvania Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro cringed at the pardon of the corrupt official.
...
Some children took their lives because of this. Families were torn apart,” Shapiro said of the original scandal. “There was all kinds of mental health issues and anguish that came as a result of these corrupt judges deciding they wanted to make a buck off a kid’s back.”
It is indeed rather difficult to see why Biden deserves to have any highways named in his honor.
...
This cash-for-kids scheme was clearly the last straw for at least some in Scranton.

good riddance... Joe
Some things come back to bite you in the ***. lol
Seems as though their is a RAT collective narrative building whereby CommieLa is installed as Prez between now and January 20... Hmmmmm....
Highways should simply not be named for those who have problems staying on the straight and narrow.
I wonder when we will find out who was really behind these pardons and why?
I can’t imagine that these choices was originally Biden’s idea.
Every time I go home, it turns my stomach to see Biden’s name on the highway expressway sign!
Absolutely disgusts me!!!
Each day that passes is one less day of Presidenting for Joe or K. We’re down to 30 right now.
It’s all about the Benjamins.
I just took a dump. You can name THAT in his honor.
The simple explanation is the democrat party is the party of evil. Thay can’t help themselves. It is who they are.
Sure, now that Biden is approaching the end of his 53 year criminal career in public office Scranton is ready to call BS on Lunch Bucket Joe’s scam.
GFY, Scranton and the same to Delunaware.
LOL
In keeping with Joe Biden’s legacy, there is no water at Brandon Falls.
Yeah blaming Brandon is just not fair. He had no idea what he was signing these past four years.
Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
The guy driving the banana truck that wrecked going down the mountain into Scranto should have stuff named after him before Slo Joe, at least the truck driver tried to warn people. This was the 30,000 pounds of bananas guy, as opposed to the solid manure Liar in Chief Biden who has been stealing from us for 50 years.
Every time I go home, it turns my stomach to see Biden’s name on the highway expressway sign!
Absolutely disgusts me!!!

Rightfully so. It is an embarassment. He has done lots of damage to the country.
My thoughts exactly.
