Over the last week or so I watched two Republicans put down, err, … the demolish two liberal questioners harping on the J6 pardons.
First it was President Trump, and then it was Marjorie Taylor Greene.
From Townhall:
President Donald Trump, during a press conference, expertly clapped back at an NBC News reporter during a testy exchange over his decision to pardon nearly 1,500 of the individuals who were convicted of crimes related to the riot at the United States Capitol building in 2021.
NBC’s Peter Alexander brought up the pardons, noting that Trump “has long said that you back the blue” and asking if he is “sending the message that assaulting officers is okay, with these pardons.”
Trump replied, “No, the opposite,” and explained that he is releasing two Washington, D.C. police officers who were imprisoned for five years after arresting an illegal immigrant. “I am the friend of police. More than any president that’s ever been in this office,” the president said.
The reporter attempted to interject again, but Trump stopped him, saying, “Listen to me for a second. Stop interrupting. They’ve served years in jail. If you look at the American public, the American public is tired of it.”
The president continued, arguing that murderers tend to get away with their crimes and reiterated that “we pardoned people that were treated unbelievably poorly” and said the authorities “are still looking for them, but they’re not looking for the murderers, the people that are killing everybody.”
Strong work, DJT!
From RedState:
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) gave a masterclass in handling members of the biased media when a reporter tried to question her about President Donald Trump’s decision to pardon the J6ers.
Inside the Capitol building, a reporter asked Greene if she planned to give tours of the building to J6ers who were pardoned.
The lawmaker shot back, “Is this all you’re really talking about is the J6ers that have been pardoned?”
Greene continued, asking, “Are you going to talk about the Biden family that got pardoned?
The reporter responded, “I haven’t.”
The lawmaker pressed the reporter, “What about the rapers and killers and murderers that Joe Biden pardoned? There’s tons of them. Is that a focus at all?”
The lawmaker further stated that she hopes the J6ers “go live their lives and can reassemble something back together because they have suffered enough.”
Strong work, MTG!
