House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Saturday quoted the Bible as she called for opening wide the gates of federal prisons to release the criminals within.

In an appearance on MSNBC’s”AM Joy,” Pelosi was asked by host Joy Reid about springing more federal prisoners on the grounds that the inmates are at risk from the coronavirus while behind bars.

“In our caucus, we are very devoted to the Gospel of Matthew — ‘when I was hungry, you fed me, when I was homeless, you sheltered me, when I was in prison, you visited me.’ And so this for us is a part of our value system,” she said.
