Google: Susan B. Anthony pardoned, who gives a fuck?

got this:

Trump pardons lesbian suffragette Susan B. Anthony. She didn’t want to be pardoned.

The "most famous lesbian in America in the 19th century" was proud of her arrest, which she strategically used to advance women's rights.

“She was never pardoned. What took so long?” Trump asked when he announced the pardon earlier today, adding that Anthony helped other women get pardons but “she didn’t put her name on the list.”

 

Some people are arguing that she never asked for a pardon because she didn’t want one.

 

In 1872, Anthony was arrested for voting in Rochester, New York, in violation of state law. She argued that the 14th Amendment gave her the right to vote at her trial, but the judge ordered the jury to return with a guilty verdict and he gave her a $100 fine. She never paid it.

 

Anthony “was proud of her arrest to draw attention to the cause for women’s rights, and never paid her fine. Let her Rest In Peace,” tweeted New York Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), asking Trump to rescind the pardon.
