Jason Riddle, a US Navy veteran convicted for his involvement in the January 6 Capitol attack, publicly declined a pardon from former President Trump, stating he does not believe his actions are pardonable. Riddle, who caused damage and stole items during the incident, emphasized his accountability during an interview. Similarly, Pamela Hemphill expressed regret over her involvement, citing personal responsibility for her actions and rejecting a pardon to avoid contributing to misinformation. Both individuals highlight a rarity among some Capitol attackers who are refusing clemency from Trump.
It's almost like [Trump] was trying to say it didn't happen. And it happened. I did those things, and they weren't pardonable. I don't want the pardon.
I was taking responsibility for the hand I had in what was an attempt to prevent the certification of Biden's victory over Trump in the 2020 presidential election.
