Minutes before Joe Biden was sworn in as the 46^th President of the United States on Wednesday, Los Angeles County’s new controversial progressive district attorney expressed solidarity with the new administration on social media.

“Today, the justice reform movement gains an ally in [the] White House,” tweeted L.A. County District Attorney George Gascón. “Biden’s promise to confront mass incarceration fills me with hope. It’s past time to reform our bail system, decriminalize marijuana, abolish the death penalty & so much more.”
