Pardons for the criminals that attacked our Capitol on January 6th?

Should Democrats make this an issue in the next election?

Even talk about "pardons" lead many people to believe these people were innocent and are nothing more than "political prisoners" of the deep state.

Is it wise to ignore all the talk about "pardons" for the insurrectionists?

But remind people that Biden won in Republican controlled states so they can't play fair.

It's time to call them out for its support of lawlessness and for catering to the insurrectionists who committed violent crimes. And the calls from the right to defund federal law enforcement must be redirected back at them.

Anybody that defends these criminals should be required to explain their support for domestic terrorism? They should have to answer for their support of these terrorists.

As the arrest numbers have gone over 1000, I have lost track of the number of those arrested for assaulting police officers but when the number was around 150 and has probably gone up from there. The republicans love to talk law and order. It is important to remind the normal public and even the brainwashed rubes that the former President is talking about pardoning people who attacked and assaulted police officers.

The law and order guy thinks it’s ok to attack police officers……
