    In the video: President Trump will pardon superstar Susan. B. Anthony (-)

    In honor of the 19th anniversary of the 19th Amendment that allowed women to vote in the United States, President Donald Trump announced yesterday (Tuesday) that he would pardon the American superstar and women's suffrage activist, Susan B. Anthony. "She was never pardoned, what took so long?" He said.

    Anthony was arrested in 1872 after voting illegally in the election, and was later convicted in her home state of New York. She died 14 years before the 19th Amendment was approved in the U.S. Constitution, on August 18, 1920.

    Ahead of the White House event, Trump signed the Declaration to Mark the Centennial Amendment to the 19th Amendment, while his wife Melania sided with him. Last week, the president gave his blessing for the erection of a monument in the capital, Washington, in honor of the suffragettes, who fought for the right of women to vote. "Women are weak over the United States, I think we can say that clearly," Trump said, noting that a record of women serving in Congress is currently being broken.

    The president's announcement comes amid a struggle for women's votes from the suburbs, which polls show they have been moving away from since the 2016 election. The pardon the president has given Anthony has not taken time to stir up a storm. Just hours later, Katie Hawk, the New York deputy governor, tweeted: "As the most senior woman elected in New York, we demand that Trump cancel the pardon." "She (Anthony) was proud of the arrest that drew attention to women's rights, and never paid the fine imposed on her. Let her rest in peace," she said.

    Anthony was convicted in a media trial of voting illegally for being a woman and fined $ 100. In a court hearing, Anthony reprimanded the government for preventing women from voting, and vowed not to pay a penny of the fine.

    Her arrest drew public attention to the equal voting movement, and helped bring it to the national stage. Anthony led the merger of the two largest supremacist groups in the country and traveled throughout the United States holding conferences and speaking at rallies.

    In the 2016 presidential race, when Hillary Clinton competed against Trump, thousands of women honored Anthony's legacy and visited her tombstone in Rochester. After the midterm elections in 2018, dozens of people pasted the stickers "I voted" on her tombstone.

    This will be the 26th pardon in the Trump presidency. He recently commuted the sentence of his adviser and friend Roger Stone, who was sentenced to 40 months in prison following his part in the Russia-Gate affair.
