MacFarlane: And oh, by the way, Democrats are not going to let this rest. They think Todd Blanche has some January 6th questions to answer, including why he is championing the pardons and celebrating the pardons. There are lots of bear traps all around it.

Counterpoint: Here’s Trump threatening violence, calling for his political enemies’ executions, celebrating the deaths of people he didn’t like, and otherwise casually promoting political violence. Also there was the small matter of Jan 6 and subsequent pardons for violent felons

The January 6 pardons are among the worst things Trump has ever done. He put violent, dangerous felons into our communities. They are emboldened by Trump's “get-out-of-jail-free” cards. Who knows what other crimes they will commit? Unfortunately, we’re all about to find out.

Trump says he’s so concerned about keeping criminals out of this country, yet he just pardoned over 1,500 people convicted for the January 6 Capitol attack. Even two top police organizations are condemning the pardons. Birds of a feather… #FelonInChief

Trump knows D.C. crime well because he incited a violent mass insurrection in D.C. with extremist street gangs on January 6, 2021. But he’s given all those people pardons and released them from jail while firing the people who prosecuted them. What more can he do?
