Trump defends pardons for rioters and suggests Proud Boys could have place in politics

[Castanet News]

President Donald Trump on his first full day in office defended his decision to pardon people convicted of assaulting police officers during the 2021 attack on...

[1st-tymecaller]

What possible place could there be in politics for these criminals? Brown Shirts? SS troopers?

[Mooose]

Waiting for heads to explode should be some great comments XD

[ShepardX3]

Hopefully the Police as a whole in that country retaliate "in kind" being some of their own officers were seriously injured in the attack. Can't image how their police or military would put their lives on the line for this criminal.

Not unexpected. Awaiting all those righties whose heads were exploding in fits of righteous indignation over Biden's pardons to denounce Trump for doing the same. Right?

Oh wait, it's only an issue when the OTHER side does it. Right.

[Hagar]

How about the six people who lost their lives that day.
Will they be pardoned too
His highest priority the next few weeks will be REVENGE !!!
He is about as sick and ugly as anything possibly could get.

makes Jerry Springer look sane

So much for Mr Law and Order! Pure hypocrisy but absolutely predictable. 100+ cops were injured by the mob and that means nothing to him. His sociopath slip is showing...

[WinkDinkerson]

Of course he would defend his pardons... nothing like having Neo-fascists on your side...

There is reasoned debate about the number who died as a result of the Capitol riot. Ocasio-Cortez is including law enforcement officials who responded to the Capitol that day and committed suicide in the days and months afterward. None of them have been officially designated as “line of duty” deaths, though there is some congressional support for it.

Ocasio-Cortez’s tally also includes two rally participants who died of heart failure — including one who died before other protesters had breached the Capitol. It includes a rallygoer who was initially believed to have been trampled to death in the mayhem that day, but was later determined to have died of an accidental overdose.

Two heart attacks: According to an April release from the Washington, D.C., medical examiner’s office, “Stop the Steal” protesters Kevin Greeson, 55, and Benjamin Phillips, 50, both died of cardiovascular disease, and the manner of death was deemed “natural.”

An accidental overdose: D.C. police also said on the day after the riot that Rosanne Boyland, 34, of Kennisaw, Georgia, suffered a “medical emergency.” The New York Times reported on Jan. 15 that Boyland died “in a crush of fellow rioters during their attempt to fight through a police line, according to videos reviewed by The Times.” That narrative was furthered by prosecutors pressing criminal cases against some of the rioters who said that as rioters clashed with police, Boyland “was dying after being trampled by the mob.”

But a month later, the D.C. medical examiner’s office released its conclusion that Boyland had died accidentally of “acute amphetamine intoxication.” According to the Washington Post, “The drug cited in Boyland’s death is addictive and can be prescribed to treat attention-deficit disorder and narcolepsy.”

A shooting death: Ashli Babbitt, 35, of San Diego and an Air Force veteran, died on the day of the riot after being shot in the shoulder by a Capitol Police officer while protesters “were forcing their way toward the House Chamber where Members of Congress were sheltering in place,” according to a Jan. 7 statement from then-U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund.

In April, the Department of Justice announced that it would not pursue any charges against the Capitol Police officer who shot Babbitt.

There's a reason why the National Guard was REFUSED on this day.
Folks, don't believe everything you hear on the msm news.

100+ injured but only 15 had to go to hospital and all released within 5 days.

Meanwhile over 2000+ cops were injured during the George floyd (summer of love) riots and we had congressmen and women funding those peoples bail and lawyers including the now former Vice President Harris.

You must have missed the exploding head righties in the Biden pardon thread.

[Lumby Glen]

Did Biden pardon 1500 of those convicted in 2020?

Yeah, "only" 15 went to hospital. That's just fine I guess. What's a few knocked out teeth,gouged eyes or concussions eh? They're just cops, it's part of the job to end up in hospital at the end of the work day....I shake my head.
