All of the top Republican presidential candidates are pledging to grant pardons to hundreds of suspects rounded up and jailed in the Justice Department’s prosecution of the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
While President Joe Biden has followed a lock-them-up-and-throw-away-the-key approach to the suspects, all five of the leading GOP candidates plan to pardon those facing nonviolent charges, one as early as “day one” of his presidency.
In a newly released video, the group Look Ahead America, which has held rallies for “J6” suspects, revealed the answers its volunteers received from candidates on the campaign trail when asked what they would do if elected president.
The Washington Examiner has the story.
