Summary
Supporters of Donald Trump gathered outside Washington, DC’s Central Detention Facility to celebrate the release of January 6 prisoners following Trump’s sweeping pardons on his first day in office.
Trump issued “full, complete and unconditional” pardons for 1,500 individuals involved in the Capitol attack, including far-right leaders Stewart Rhodes and Enrique Tarrio, whose sentences were commuted.
The release sparked emotional reactions from families and supporters, though critics condemned the move, noting the violent acts committed by some of those pardoned.
The pardons have drawn widespread outrage from lawmakers.
January 6th rioters are terrorists who tried their very hardest to stab America in the heart.
It is very important to make sure we all include this central fact whenever we speak about the issue, as a general note. It should be repeated so much that people hear it in their heads as an echo whenever they think about the subject, because it is the truth.
They were safer in prison. Just release their names and addresses and let freedom do it’s job
