During her emotional speech, she explained how Donald Trump is a compassionate leader who changed her life and allowed her to fulfill her purpose. “When President Trump heard about me, about the injustice of my story, he saw me as a person, he had compassion and he acted,” Johnson said. “…I always remembered that God knew my name even in my darkest hour, but I never thought a president would…..”
“I pray that you will not just hear this message but that you will be inspired by my story and your compassion will lead you to take action for those who are forgotten,” she said. “That’s what our president, Donald Trump, did for me, and for that, I will be forever grateful. I’m using my voice to tell their stories and I pray that my face reminds you of those forgotten faces,” she said.
As we previously reported, Trump granted Johnson clemency in 2018 after she had spent more than 20 years in prison for a first-time, nonviolent drug offense. The president’s decision followed a meeting with Kim Kardashian, the businesswoman, and reality-show star, about Johnson’s case.
