Famous suffragist Susan B. Anthony will receive a pardon nearly 150 years after she was arrested for voting in the 1872 presidential election, but her legacy was complicated.

President Trump announced Tuesday that he will be signing a posthumous pardon for the famous suffragist Susan B. Anthony, nearly 150 years after she was arrested for voting in the 1872 presidential election.

The pardon comes on the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which gave women in the U.S. the right to vote. It also comes at a time when the president’s popularity with female voters is trailing behind that of Democratic rival Joe Biden, who recently chose Sen. Kamala Harris — a Black woman of Indian heritage — as his running mate.

Story continues“The pioneers of women’s rights were unanimously and adamantly against abortion,” Dannenfelser said Tuesday. “Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Alice Paul and their compatriots understood that the rights of women extend to their children — born and unborn.”

Why does Democrats always think they are ENTITLED to the black vote and female vote? They act like black people and women don't have MORALS and VALUES and will vote on those things as oppose to simply the Dem ticket or a female VP pick! Ask Hillary Clinton how that worked out.

WHAT? You mean no DEMOCRATIC President has ever thought to do this? Not shocking at all. Ask Hillary Clinton about the female vote...she thought she deserved their vote just for being a woman...and now apparently, so does Kamala Harris.

女性に選挙権がなかった時に、押しかけ投票して逮捕された方。 名誉が回復して良かったと思います。

Great stuff..

I'm sure that'll be a relief to her.

Trump to posthumously pardon Susan B. AnthonyThe move by Trump was a clear attempt to appeal to female voters, who polls show prefer former Vice President Joe Biden in the upcoming 2020 election. Anybody think Susan would approve of him? Trump would call Susan B Anthony a nasty woman. She didn’t sit down & shut up or a woman who is simply decor! I do wonder why Biden, and Obama never did this? Guess they didn't think it mattered.
