Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) this weekend drew ire from Donald Trump’s MAGA base after he dared to criticize the president’s blanket pardoning of the Jan. 6 rioters — including those who had engaged in acts of violence.

Trump pardoned over 1,500 people charged with attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, 34 of them from South Carolina.

Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Trump ally, affirmed his opinion of Trump pardoning Jan. 6 rioters saying he doesn't like anything that would send the "wrong signal"

President Trump issued a sweeping clemency order covering around 1,500 rioters for their role on the Capitol attack that attempted to block congressional certification of Joe Biden's 2020 election victory on Jan.

Pardoning the people who went into the Capitol and beat up a police officer violently I think was a mistake,’ Lindsey Graham says

South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham has been criticized for claiming that President Donald Trump made a “mistake” his first week in office. During an interview on NBC’s Meet The Press, Graham told host Kristen Welker that Trump’s pardon of the Jan. 6 defendants was a “mistake.”
