“I mean full pardons with an apology to many!” he told conservative radio host Wendy Bell on Thursday morning. Such a move would be contingent on Trump running and winning the 2024 presidential election."

You're going to have to address voter fraud, Mr. Trump, if you expect to be elected again.

There needs to be an effort to explain to the public exactly who these people are and what has happened to them along with promises to pardon them.

Many Americans still think they are violent rioters who killed police.

if you thought they were being violent that day, after 20 yrs of Afghanistan and a yr of democrat riots, you really weren’t paying attention.

the entire point of that day was to demand an audit of the vote. the dems hijacked it with their agents and it devolved into a typical antifa/FBI riot

...rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol ... and violently attacked law enforcement to stop the democratic transfer of power.

No bias there. They could have added,
...the majority of which were protesting peacefully but arrested and jailed for over 2 years without trial.

Not only “no bias there” - but complete silence, if not complicity, for the violent BLM and anti-fa rioters who really did loot, burn down and destroy our cities.

How come they got a pass?

(question is meant to be rhetorical and sarcastic).

Wow!…right on cue! Coinciding with the most decisive ugly speech ever given by an American president. Coincidence I think not! They want to put a stake through the heart of the MAGA movement!

The good news is the major alphabet networks didn’t carry it, only CNN and MSNBC - and their ratings are absolutely terrible.

“Only CNN and MSNBC aired the speech live. ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, PBS, Fox News and Fox Business all skipped it.”

” violently attacked law enforcement “

Typical liberal propaganda since Trump did not say those words and no one did those acts.

Not what he said. He said he would consider pardons. But then it’s the Washington Post so we really can’t expect truth from them.

Part of this explanation needs to be the fact that Republican defendants face kangaroo courts and a thoroughly biased jury pool. Change the trial venue, and this won’t happen again.

They are the scapegoats of a horrific fraud on the American people. Biden, with National Guards from many Blue states to protect him, he was inaugurated with a crowd of NOBODY. Not 81 million. Not even a decent turnout from leftist media, sycophants and paid performers.

These protesting Americans were infiltrated, set up and then persecuted and held without trial, representation of human rights for over a year in a DC Abu Ghraib Gulag run by a zealot warden who openly bragged about it.....

A DC jail might as well be a Turkish prison. It is that foreign to the American idea of justice.

Indeed. DC is crime against humanity, IMO.

But Biden stated seven, yes seven police officers were murdered during the riot?

(I’ll try to locate the clip. Tucker had played it the other night).

They need to file a class action lawsuit against the federal government. Then Trump should order the government to admit full guilt, apologize and offer a generous cash payment to each of these victims.

Its exactly the kind of crap the left pulls. There’s nothing they could do to stop it and it would drive them completely insane. Plus it would be justice for these MAGA patriots.

This is a Very bad idea: Most moderates who would vote for a Republican President were upset about what happened. You may not like it but that is reality. Do we want to win this November and in 2024. IF SO

Do you think Trump should concentrate on the issues of Inflation, shortage of formula and other essentials, spending, Woke policies, immigration, crime.

Theses are his exact words:

“I mean full pardons with an apology to many,” Trump told conservative radio host Wendy Bell on Thursday morning.
