Here we go again. Republicans are rolling out the “tough on crime” message for the midterms.
There’s just one little problem with that.
The president who is supposed to be the face of their “law and order” agenda has 34 criminal felonies, pardoned more than 1,500 January 6 defendants. Since then, at least 97 of those pardon recipients have been rearrested, charged or sentenced for other crimes. Seven have been charged with child-sex crimes. And it isn’t just the January 6 pardons.
Trump’s clemency record includes convicted fraudsters and other white-collar criminals whose pardons wiped away restitution, fines and forfeitures to the tune of $3.3 billion.
It’s the same lie they told you in 2024. And look where that got us. So when Republicans tell you they’re tough on crime, maybe ask them about the criminals their own criminal president keeps letting go.
They’ve done nothing for you. in two years, but make your life worse.
