Bernie Sanders Calls Trump a 'Tin-Pot Dictator' Over Threats to Jail January 6th Committee, Urges Biden for Pardons
Dec 15, 2024, 05:36 PM
Senator Bernie Sanders has criticized President-elect Donald Trump's remarks regarding potential jail time for members of the House January 6th Committee, describing such threats as indicative of authoritarianism and likening them to the actions of a 'tin-pot dictator.' In his statements, Sanders emphasized the seriousness of Trump's comments and urged President Joe Biden to consider issuing preemptive pardons for those who might be targeted in Trump's second term. Sanders expressed concern about the implications of Trump's rhetoric, particularly in light of recent events, including the resignation of FBI Director Christopher Wray. He reiterated the need for protective measures for those involved in the January 6th investigation.
