One of the most controversial promises Trump has made in his post-election agenda is the potential pardoning of those convicted for their roles in the January 6th Capitol riots. Supporters view this as a matter of righting what they see as an unfair political prosecution, while critics warn that pardoning the rioters could be seen as endorsing violence and undermining the rule of law. With Trump now in office, should he follow through on his pledge to pardon these individuals, or should he allow the justice system to take its course?
Yes
It is.
No
It isn’t.
