Never Trust These Dirtbags: Lindsey Graham, GOP Senators Slam Trump – Say “Pardons for Jan. 6 Protesters Is Bad Idea” — SAY NOTHING ABOUT PROTESTERS IN PRISON FOR OVER A YEAR WITHOUT TRIAL

At some point, these horrible RINOs will notice there is no one standing behind them.

RINO Senators Lindsey Graham, Mike Rounds, Kevin Kramer slammed Trump and said “pardons for January 6 protesters was a bad idea.”

These same senators have SAID NOTHING about the men and women imprisoned today without trial following the January 6 protests.

Don’t fool yourself, they don’t care if ANY Trump supporter rots in prison.

There are Trump protesters rotting in prison today (who we regularly report on at The Gateway Pundit) who committed NO violence and who did not even enter the US Capitol on January 6th!

Senate Republicans believe this is acceptable.

These wimps WILL NEVER be on your side.

Never.

Former President Trump’s promise to grant pardons to the rioters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is running into strong opposition from Senate Republicans.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), one of Trump’s closest allies, told The Hill that granting pardons to Jan. 6 protesters is “a bad idea.”

“Pardons are given to people who admit misconduct, rehabilitate themselves. They’re not supposed to be used for other purposes,” he said.

Other Republican senators are joining Graham in criticizing Trump’s promise to pardon the Jan. 6 protesters as inappropriate.

“I don’t think potential candidates should hold pardons out as a promise,” said Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.), who is usually a reliable Trump ally. “It’s somewhat problematic for me on a moral level and an ethical level — sort of like promising other giveaways to particular individuals.

“I prefer avoiding those kinds of things,” he said.

Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) said he wouldn’t support granting pardons to people convicted of crimes because of their actions on Jan. 6.

“If he were elected, he would have a constitutional ability to do it,” he said of Trump’s promise of pardons. “I would disagree with it. I think there was insurrection and I think these folks need to be punished.
