Symone Sanders-Townsend discussed Trump's pardons for individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riots, highlighting concerns from Democrats about the implications of such actions. A Democratic legislator likened the pardons to releasing a 'private militia,' suggesting a potential for unchecked lawlessness and loyalty to Trump. Amidst this controversy, the narrative shifts towards state legislatures as battlegrounds for policy as they may play a crucial role. Additionally, insights into Biden's pardons are offered, portraying them as responsive to Trump's threats rather than unilateral gestures.
Donald Trump had said that he was going to pardon the January 6th hostages, as he called them, and we know they are not hostages, these were people who went through the legal system, were convicted by a jury of their peers.
This fight is going to be in the states. As much as we look at Congress, America's policy is made in the state legislatures.
One senior dem state legislator from out west texted me and said, you know, he literally just let his private militia out of jail, said he's instilled a sense of loyalty.
I understand the concerns that people had, but I also understand what the president said is that the incoming president, President Trump has promised a special prosecutor to go after look into the Biden family.
