Fugelsang says US now holds public executions

Original: RE: https:// mastodon.social/@RonSupportsYo u/117424584787588502 John Fugelsang: "Three nations hold public executions:

Commentator John Fugelsang is claiming that only three countries carry out public executions: Iran, Taliban-led Afghanistan, and now the United States. He added that Saudi Arabia discontinued the practice in 2019, and suggested Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is preparing to expand it. The post is circulating among critics of US capital punishment, who argue America is aligned with authoritarian states on executions.

Why now: The claim puts the United States in the same category as Iran and Afghanistan, sparking debate over US death penalty practices.
