Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) slammed President Trump’s decision to grant sweeping pardons to those convicted in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot, suggesting they are “political foot soldiers” for Trump.
“Are they being released as a reserve army of political foot soldiers to act on behalf of MAGA and Donald Trump?” Raskin told CNN’s Erin Burnett during an appearance on the network Tuesday night. “I think that’s what’s so profoundly troubling to a majority of the American people who rejected the idea of freeing at least the violent criminals and the ones who were convicted of seditious conspiracy, which means conspiracy to overthrow the government,” he added.
Leaders of the far-right groups the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers were among those pardoned by Trump on his first day in office Monday.
Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was released from prison after receiving a full pardon from Trump. Tarrio was sentenced to 22 years after being convicted on seditious conspiracy and other charges connected to the 2021 riot.

Can Raskin be anymore stupid??
**************************
Stop!! He’ll take it as a challenge....
Just tell him that’s right. And so keep running your mouth. And they are all still allowed to buy guns as well!
Kinda like the Democrats did with the KKK and Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street, etcetera, etcetera . . . .
Because he knows what BLM was - Obama/Holders organized Brownshirts for political street violence, protected by the DOJ - so that’s his frame of reference.
No problem with Antifa, huh?
Me thinks that’s gonna be a new line. Heard it last night from some other uber ignorant lefty UPOS. The Trump militia back in the fray to start trouble. Do they believe the 1,600 were all young strapping men with bulging biceps? Fidiots!
O.K., so what were all the BLM and antifa rioters??? How come THEY were not all rounded up and jailed for four years, some without even a trial yet???
Leftist politicians hired armies of lawyers to get their BLM, ANTIFA, anarchists rioting and burning cities, out of jail and charges dropped.
Can Raskin be anymore stupid?, no, no he can’t 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Beat me by four seconds.
What do you call BLM and AntiFa, Raskin?
I like the sound of this.
This is the same idiot who loves antifa, BLM, pro-Hamas / pro-Palestine agitators in our cities and college campuses.
(snicker, snicker)
I just picked up this line from FReeper Puppage:
“I guess he won’t be bringing the potato salad to the MENSA Picnic.”
Hey Raskin, we’re all foot soldiers.
Could Ratskin be anymore ugly?
He just proved they were political prisoners
Hey Ratskin. Don’t you have some navel lint or something else to play with? Foot soldiers? We’re gonna need them if you commie hosers keep this crap up. America First boy. Against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC.
