"Tillis said, adding: Is there anybody listening to me today, all 30 of them that are listening? Is there anyone here, if you had that happen to your office or your business, would you think, Well, they were just a little hotheaded, let them go and not prosecute them? Or would you hold them accountable for destroying the citadel of democracy?"
"So I believe that there were many people that should have been pardoned: the people who just came in, they didn't understand what was happening. The people that led the vanguard, the people that were waving people through, the people that burned the buildings, the people that injured a police officer leading to the death of an officer should go to prison for as long as the law allows. And yet they got loose, including the QAnon Shaman.'"
President Donald Trump issued pardons for individuals involved in the January 6 attack on the Capitol, including people who violently attacked police and damaged the building. Senator Thom Tillis criticized the pardons and argued that many participants, especially leaders and those who injured or killed officers, should face long prison terms. Tillis distinguished between those who unwittingly entered the Capitol and those who led, burned property, or waved others through. Tillis singled out the QAnon Shaman and recounted that he was transferred between prisons over an 'organic diet' complaint. Tillis warned against minimizing the violence and urged accountability for destruction of democratic institutions.
