Republicans cannot claim to be the party of law and order while pardoning and commuting the sentences of individuals who brutally assaulted law enforcement officers in service of a violent insurrection.

Anyone with a reasonable grasp of reality knows the GOP no longer cares about law and order. The question is, how is their criminality going to be held in check when a criminal holds the power of pardon?
President Trump’s decision to issue 1,500 pardons to individuals convicted for their roles in the January 6 Capitol attack is an affront to our democracy and the rule of law.
These defendants were convicted by a jury of their peers for participating in an attack that included direct assaults on law enforcement, vandalism, trespassing, and an attempt to overturn a free and fair election through the use of force.
Make no mistake: despite Trump’s efforts to whitewash the events of January 6, the crimes these individuals committed will not be forgotten or erased from the reality of his actions that day.
Instead of focusing on solutions to help everyday Americans, Trump’s first action in office is to reward his most loyal supporters with pardons for their disgraceful, unlawful attack on our democracy.
We've known all of this was going to happen & more. What will you & the rest of Congress do to stop his destruction? This isn't play-along find-common-ground time.
Really?
Please tell me when did you think the GOP actually followed any rules?
Are you that naive?

May I suggest you get the word out, as often as possible, on exactly what these people who have been "pardoned" did, as individuals? Not en masse, but "Today the Republican president pardoned someone who dragged a police officer into a mob to be beaten."
