Schumer slams Trump’s promise to pardon Jan. 6 rioters
Chuck Schumer’s speech comes four years after a mob of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol believing the 2020 presidential election had been stolen.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Monday urged President-elect Donald Trump not to pardon those who participated in the riots on Jan. 6, 2021, four years after the attack on the Capitol.
“It is shamefully, utterly outrageous that the president is considering pardons for these rioters who broke the law and attacked our police officers on Jan. 6,” Schumer said on the Senate floor ahead of the 2024 election certification. “Pardoning the criminals who assaulted police officers and tried to halt the democratic process would be a dangerous endorsement of political violence.
“It would send a message to the country and to the world that those who use force to get their way will not be punished,” Schumer added. “It is wrong, it is reckless, and it would be an insult to the memory of those who died in connection that day.”
Comment:
The Jan 6 voting rights protesters received politically motivated excessively long prison sentences.
Schumer is one of the most despicable demagogues in the Democrat Party.
It wasn't an insurrection.
