The “Trumpification” of the GOP’s Jan. 6 pardon push
The article presents information about the approach of various Republican political figures towards the participants of the January 6th Capitol assault. Joe Kent, a Republican candidate for a competitive congressional seat, has expressed the need for Trump to win the White House and pardon some of the mob involved in the assault. Kent has ousted Jaime Herrera Beutler, who voted to impeach Trump following the Capitol attack, and is running for the same seat this year. Other Republicans have also supported the idea of pardons. For instance, entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy regularly promises to pardon all non-violent Jan. 6 protesters, while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has shown support for pardoning those facing Jan. 6 charges for non-violent acts.
