Summary
In a Fox News interview with Sean Hannity, Donald Trump defended his sweeping pardons of over 1,500 individuals charged in the January 6 Capitol attack, calling the events “very minor incidents.”
He justified the pardons, citing harsh prison conditions and portraying many participants as patriots.
The move sparked backlash from police unions, some Republican lawmakers, and critics who condemned violence against officers.
Trump also criticized Biden for not pardoning himself and floated controversial ideas, including defunding FEMA and targeting sanctuary cities, in his wide-ranging interview.
Minor incidents? A police officer died!
5 people died according to legal eagle video.
I had only heard about the police officer, 5 people is even worse…
I’d like to see the back the blue folks try to justify both sides of that
Simple: rules are for people who aren’t like them.
Their whole political philosophy is derived from this axiom.
No need to worry, they’ll be too preoccupied with arresting minorities
They just say the stroke he had the next day was totally unrelated.
I didn’t realize beating a cop to death was considered a minor incident.
Sadly, I predict that one of these “patriots” is going to have a “minor incident” with someone on Trump’s enemies list, Luigi style, and will get immediately pardoned by Trump. He will say some shit like “This is what traitors deserve, he was just willing to do what the DoJ wouldn’t.”
The GOP will have a good look in the mirror, have a heartfelt discussion as to whether Trump went too far, then put on the red hat and have an equally heartfelt discussion about who can snap the best salute.
He doesn’t need them. He is going to have the CIA NSA FBI all in his pocket with loyalist appointees
No, he doesn’t need them anymore, except to continue grifting them. But you know they will try to off someone on that enemies list, anyway.
The only solace I can find in this situation is that the worst ones will likely do something dumb and end up back in jail.
Can we get a list of these animals?
