Republican presidential candidate Asa Hutchinson vowed Sunday not to issue “blanket pardons” for rioters convicted in connection with the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, if he is elected.

“First of all, there would be no blanket pardons. Secondly, it was a very serious offense, challenging the fundamentals of our democracy and attempt to overturn the election, and so I view it as seriously, and any pardon application be viewed just like any other pardon application that I viewed as governor. And I would do that as president, but no blanket pardons,” the former Arkansas governor said in an interview on MSNBC’s “The Sunday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”

Yes, I think Gov. Asa is an asterisk in polls, don’t think he’s even cracked the 1% barrier, has he?

The big question is how much money has he received.

Asa has been doing a lot of thinking about blankets now, from his nursing home bed.

But in Asa’s head his poll numbers are as big as Whale excrement.

How awkward for him. He’s not going anyway and he knows that. He may make a little bank for future projects.

Very few in public life know that we are a republic.

Republicans and Democrats alike, talk about “our democracy”. They don’t know / don’t care, that we are actually a constitutional republic.

I remember Asa Hutchinson as a strong conservative during the Clinton impeachment hearings.

Somewhere he took a VERY sharp turn to leftism.

His chance of being in a position to grant pardons is 0%. He’s not running to win unless he’s a bigger idiot then I thought. He has as good a chance to become president as I do.

Trump should give them each a $million if they’re entitled to a pardon.
