Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) expressed disapproval of former President Trump’s pardons for Jan. 6 rioters, especially those who assaulted law enforcement officers defending the Capitol. Speaking on CNN’s State of the Union, Graham stated, “When you pardon people who attack police officers, you’re sending the wrong signal to the public.”
Graham also criticized other controversial pardons, including President Biden’s clemency for certain individuals and past presidential actions. “If this continues… there may be an effort to rein in the pardon power of the president,” Graham added.
On NBC’s Meet the Press, Graham reiterated his opposition to pardoning violent offenders, calling it a “mistake.”
Trump granted over 1,500 pardons for individuals charged in connection with Jan. 6, including 600 accused of assaulting officers.
