Most Americans are not in support for President-elect Donald Trump’s plan to pardon the rioters who were charged in connection to the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

CNN’s Harry Enten broke down the results from a recent Ipsos poll on Monday that asked Americans whether they support pardoning the Jan. 6 rioters. Trump has repeatedly vowed to pardon the rioters, calling them “hostages” at times and praising them as “patriots.”

CNN’s John Berman asked Enten what Americans think of the potential pardons on Monday.

“In a word, they think it’s a terrible idea. Terrible, terrible, terrible,“ Enten responded, noting that 64 percent of Americans oppose the pardons while just 30 percent favor it.

1. Too late. It's going to happen along with so many other widely unpopular actions. The propaganda worked.

Only our side knew the stakes. The other side will be largely blind-sighted.

[Attilatheblond]

29. The other side was not largely blind-sighted, they simply refused to listen/see.

They seem to reflect all their hopes & wishes onto Trump then act surprised if they get around to noticing he doesn't give a damn about them. He even said it out loud as a rally or too.

It's all fun and games until the realize they aren't the group he cares about.

2. If we had a strong press we would already be flooded with articles about

T and the R Magas turning their backs on the rule of law here in the US and his letting criminals flood our streets as TSF did in Iraq. An action that endangered our people as we tried to pull out safely under constraints of his written agreement with Afghanistan. They could dive into the documented problems of letting thousands of incarcerated people out on the street while he fills their ears with retribution against the Democrats.

5. The power of the press belongs to those who own it

Unfortunately the oligarchs own an awful lot of the media.

[HUAJIAO]

22. Afghanistan

[Hope22]

24. Thank you.

[HUAJIAO]

41. You bet...

[maxsolomon]

35. If americans read newspapers any more, that might have changed minds.

But they don't. They watch fox and sinclair and listen to hate radio when driving.

My dad hasn't read a newspaper for 30 years.

[ificandream]

37. Very very very true.

The free press is the key to our democracy.

[ificandream]

38. We do have a strong press.

People give way too much attention to pundits and opinion pieces. News stories are what makes for a strong democracy. Read those. Skip the opinion pieces.

[thesquanderer]

3. The only way I could accept setting them all free...

...would be is if Trump accepted responsibility for the whole thing and pled guilty to all related charges, and went to prison instead of them. Which sees reasonable to me because, for the most part, I think he did sucker them into it.

[eppur_se_muova]

13. I might add "and deported them to a country not of their own choosing".

He's already threatened to do that to others.

[Prairie Gates]

4. He stated he would do this over and over again for the last three years, and at every campaign event

It was a central pillar of his campaign. It was one of his main campaign pledges.

He's definitely going to do it.

[Hope22]

6. I wonder what his parting words will be.

I officially direct you to Go forward and extinguish the enemy..I’ll pardon you again if necessary.

[DENVERPOPS]

7. My fear is that it will

encourage the Trumphumping insurrectionists to repeat it, esp targeting Blue State's Capitols..........

[CrispyQ]

8. Pass on a chance to piss off a ton of establishment people & the left?

He's gonna do it, for sure. I hate him. I hope he dies soon. I know Vance is awful too, but I'm so sick of the orange fuck.

[FailureToCommunicate]

9. Sadly "most" Americans thought it's a great idea, and voted for him, and/or they don't give a

rat's ass about real justice.

[yaesu]

10. where were those "most americans" at on Nov 5th?

[Captain Zero]

34. add this to gun control and legal abortion percentages

that hover in the 70 % area.

And chump still "wins" the election? yeah, right.

[shawn703]

11. He said he was going to do it before the election

They voted for it, they own what he does. Don’t cry terrible now.

[Festivito]

12. The more hated it is, the more coverage he gets, thus stroking his ego.

Concepts of a plan to pardon, keeps him in the news.

He'll only do it when the coverage slows too much or stops. Then moving forward will get coverage for a while as his own people whine, let alone us.

[Vinca]

14. Well, that's what they voted for. It wasn't a secret.

[Blue_Tires]

15. Since when did Donnie care what the people want?

[LogDog75]

16. We need to hold every republican officer holder accountable

If he does pardon the Capitol Hill insurrectionists, we need to get every republican officer holder to go on the record and state if they support what he's doing. Those that support him, we need to hammer it over and over and over to the voters that that republican supported the pardons of criminal insurrectionists.

[Deep State Witch]

33. Not Sure That's A Good Idea

Remember that most Republicans are okay with Cheetolini releasing the J6ers.

[Mz Pip]

17. Trump ran on pardoning them

Apparently, enough people were good with it to vote for him.

[republianmushroom]

18. 46 months and counting

The convicted felon should be joining them in a prison cell for the rest of his life for treason.

[MarcoZandrini]

19. Reopen....

….alcatraz and let them freeze.

[Evolve Dammit]

20. He will do it anyhow, just to be clear.

[JoseBalow]

21. "Release them."

(5:26)

[markie]

23. what does it matter

what 'Americans' think.... he will do as he wants silly conversation

[travelingthrulife]

25. That same 30% of anti-American haters

Worst christians ever.

[dchill]

26. These aren't the same people who voted, then.

[Lonestarblue]

27. These people are violent domestic terrorists, not tourists out for a stroll.

Only Trump could think that loosing a few thousand violent felons onto our streets is a good idea.

[Evolve Dammit]

36. They will be eternally grateful to their Lord and Master (thinking Wormtail in Harry Potter)....

[bucolic_frolic]

28. Yes, by this system he could pardon bank robbers if they gave him all the money. /nt

[sinkingfeeling]

30. Does anyone think they care what people think?

[JI7]

31. They hate Transgender people more

[Deep State Witch]

32. Well, They Voted For It

They knew damn well that he was going to pardon the J6 insurrectionists. They still voted for him.

[Karasu]

39. ...And yet they gave him the fucking power to do it anyway. Because yes, most of them ARE that stupid.

[Hekate]

40. Yeah right. This IS what you idiots voted for, every bit of it, and it is happening fast.
