Lindsey Graham Warns Trump's Pardons of Violent Jan. 6 Rioters May Encourage More Violence
Jan 26, 2025, 04:25 PM
Senator Lindsey Graham, a key ally of President Donald Trump, has criticized Trump's decision to pardon individuals convicted of violent crimes during the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot, calling it 'a mistake.' Speaking on NBC's 'Meet the Press,' Graham expressed concern that the pardons could encourage future violence by suggesting that assaulting police officers is acceptable. 'I fear that you will get more violence,' he stated. While acknowledging that Trump had the legal authority to issue the pardons, Graham said, 'I don't like it,' emphasizing that pardoning those who beat up police officers sends the wrong signal. He also suggested that continued abuse of the presidential pardon power could prompt a reevaluation of this constitutional authority.
