The GOP’s stunning response to Trump pardoning those who assaulted police

When the idea of pardons for Jan. 6 defendants first circulated, the pushback from Republican senators was pretty swift. And even the few who entertained the idea drew a line at pardoning the violent ones.

“I think there is a stark difference between acts of violence and peaceful protest,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said, calling acts of violence “qualitatively different” and “unacceptable from any political perspective.”

“To seek a pardon of these people would be wrong,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) told Fox News. “I think it would destroy President Trump, and I hope we don’t go down that road.”

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (Alabama) said that he was “100 percent” for all of the pardons and that the defendants had served enough time. When pressed on those who assaulted police, Tuberville said that was “not acceptable” but that he “didn’t see” the video.
