The Wall Street Journal criticized President Trump's decision to issue pardons for many involved in the January 6 Capitol riot, including those who violently attacked police officers. The editorial emphasizes the troubling message this sends regarding political violence and highlights the stark contrast with ongoing criticism of President Biden's pardons for allies. Political figures like Marco Rubio voiced concerns over the implications of such actions, with many in the conservative media also decrying the pardons as damaging to Trump's legacy and a threat to law and order.
There is nothing patriotic about what is occurring on Capitol Hill, ' one GOP official tweeted. This is 3rd world style anti-American anarchy.'
Republicans are busy denouncing President Biden's pre-emptive pardons for his family and political allies, and deservedly so.
The Journal is one of a number of right-wing institutions and individuals to condemn Trump over the pardons.
By setting free the cop beaters, the President adds another stain on Mr. Trump's legacy.
