Many people, including some Republicans, are pissed that Trump pardoned violent criminals. Here’s what they’re saying (1/7)

Each email and call log is a different violent rioter who assaulted me in the tunnel. If you are defending these people who brutally assaulted the police, maybe you ARE NOT a supporter of the police and the rule of law to begin with. If you did you would want accountability.

Since the inauguration is moving indoors, here is a suggestion for decorations so the “law and order” guy see what supporters did. Just make it as it was on Jan 6, 2021.

Insurrectionists shouldn't be pardoned. Pass it on.

@sergeantaqgo.bsky.social: "You cannot be pro-police officer and rule of law if you are pardoning people who betrayed that trust, injured police officers and ransacked the Capitol."

Your daily Fanone.

A reminder from Officer Michael Fanone about the January 6th Attack:
“Many of the rioters who engaged in the insurrection have direct ties to violent white supremacist groups and movements, which the FBI has called ‘the greatest threat’ to U.S. national security.”

I was there on Jan. 6 — we cannot allow Trump to rewrite history Every member of Congress, including Republicans in both chambers, have a duty to loudly and publicly oppose the pardoning of criminals who assaulted and tried to kill their colleagues and police of…

"According to Trump and MAGA Republicans, Jan. 6, 2021, was a 'day of love.' If being beaten and trampled by a violent mob is love, then Trump and the insurrectionists who attacked me under his banner nearly loved me to death."
