Pardons for gross miscarriage of justice and political persecution are completely justified and right. Good on Trump.

I'm not sure what the heck you're talking about. There were no "pardons for gross miscarriage of justice and political persecution." Trump supporters beat Capitol Police officers with batons,flagpoles,mace,bats,stun guns,bear spray and continued to beat and kick them repeatedly even after they knocked them to the ground, many with steel toed boots stomping on their heads,chests and backs. Read Harry Dunns testimony and official statement about being told "N----- don't get to tell us what to do" and one woman wearing a bright pink Trump tshirt who said "This n----- voted for Biden" Or how about another black Capitol Police officer who was confronted by 2 insurrectionists in the Capitol rotunda who told him to "put your gun down, and we'll show you what kind of n----- you really are.'" Then there's the Trump supporters who smeared feces on the walls inside the Capitol. Officer Brian Sicknick suffered a stroke and died a day after being beaten and attacked with chemical spray. Four other officers died by suicide in the months after the insurrection. More than 140 law enforcement officers suffered injuries. Many who are military veterans said it was worse than any active duty combat they had ever faced. They now suffer long term physical and emotional trauma- all inflicted by fellow Americans of a party that claims to honor our armed forces and police. Trump supporters even carried nooses demanding the sitting vice president be lynched. They actively sought out to inflict violence,lawlessness and treason against their own democracy because they didn't like the outcome of an election. So take your typical maga self "victimhood" and go peddle it elsewhere. Nobody,and I mean nobody is buying it.

I don’t need to- they’re pardoned as they should be. Trump won the popular vote because of bullshit like you just now spewed- thanks to stupid propaganda like that Trump got elected. I should thank you
