DeSantis: "We will be aggressive in issuing pardons"

[RandySF]

A 2024 Republican presidential candidate along with another GOP official considering a White House bid distanced themselves from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, who says he is considering pardons for Jan. 6 rioters.

DeSantis, on Thursday, commented that he would consider pardons for those involved in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on his first day in office.

“I will have folks that will get together and look at all these cases ... people [who] are victims of weaponization or political targeting, and we will be aggressive at issuing pardons,” he said.

Over 500 people have pleaded guilty – and more than 400 have been sentenced – for crimes related to the Jan. 6 attack, committed by Donald Trump supporters attempting to block the certification of the 2020 election.

1. DeSantis is a pandering traitorous scumbag.

2. So much for 'the rule of law'

For a alleged lawyer DeSantis has little respect for the law

3. Except in MAGA land I believe

the vast majority of people did not approve of the trump led insurrection. Strange move from a guy running for president. That may fly in fascist Florida but even there that's a losing issue.
