Former Trump supporter Pamela Hemphill refuses and returns her Jan. 6 pardon
CBS News ^ | June 1, 2025 | Scott McFarlane

Amid the wave of pardons and commutations President Trump has doled out to some of his supporters and surrogates, one former MAGA loyalist in Idaho is fighting to return her pardon.

Pamela Hemphill is one of the more than 1,500 people whom Mr. Trump pardoned earlier this year for their roles in the U.S. Capitol Insurrection. She has invoked help from her Republican senator to formally refuse and block the pardon Trump issued her on Jan. 20, his first day back in the White House.

Though Hemphill was a defendant of the largest criminal prosecution in American history, she is seemingly standing alone now as the only Jan. 6 defendant to refuse the clemency Mr. Trump offered.

Speaking with CBS News from her home in Idaho, Hemphill said, "The pardons just contribute to their narrative, which is all lies, propaganda. We were guilty, period."

"We all know that they're gaslighting us. They are using January 6 to just continue Trump's narrative that the Justice Department was weaponized," she said. "They were not, When the FBI came to my home, oh my God, they were very professional. They treated me very good."

If they had the time, someone like James O'Keefe or Laura Loomer should investigate this woman, to see if she experienced any jail time or what her employment was prior to her arrest. Indeed, she may not be the person that was arrested for the events of January 6th.

One very good guideline is to trust nothing coming out of the legacy media.

And next on CBS, Every Republican is now admitting they are criminal and want to go to camps.

Of course, this will follow the story on how most people just were seeing things when they thought Biden was senile.

Say all of that to the family of Ashli Babbitt you disgusting leftist plant. You know who is really guilty? Nancy Pelosi, and the anti-American scum you are shilling for.

I know, nasty.

But it’s true.

Some people will do just about anything for their 15 minutes.

A couple days after Trump issued the blanket pardon, I saw a friend at church. We were at J6 together.

We toasted our presidential pardons with coffee cups

Women.

Yep. It's hardwired. This reminds me of the day after 9/11, when my fellow prayer team members and I rushed to our church to form a prayer meeting for Friday of that week that would be open to anyone who wished to come from the entire community, and advertised on radio.

As we were formulating with the pastor brief lines of prayer to be responded to with "Hear our prayer", one of us suggested "that the Lordship of Christ over all the earth receive increased awareness throughout our land." To which the one old Democrat woman in our midst objected strenously.

"Why not?" we asked her.

"Because some people who are not Christian might come."

Sure sound like an FIB informant. From the Article:

“Prosecutors argued Hemphill “was in the front of the crowd that confronted U.S. Capitol Police and other law enforcement officers attempting to keep the rioters behind the metal bike-rack barriers.”

They alleged Hemphill galvanized others to descend on Washington for the certification of the electoral vote after the 2020 election, according to court filings.

“On December 28, 2020, Hemphill posted encouragement to go to Washington, D.C. for January 6, saying ‘its a WAR!’ On January 1, 2021, she posted a message ‘on my way to Washington DC January 6th,” the prosecution said.

I don’t get the former Trump supporter bit. What was she expecting Trump to do?

It seems to me that many of these so-called former supporters, assuming they ever were really supporters, have the idea in their head that the President is a king and can rule by fiat. If he doesn’t rule by fiat, he’s some sort of failure.

I’m guessing there’s more to this story that CBS isn’t telling us

You don't have to "refuse" a pardon. A pardon is without any legal effect unless the person who received it files it in court. There are cases on this.

She is certainly free to tear it up and never use it.

See BS is still referring the J6 protests as an insurrection.
