Schumer: Trump pardon of people convicted of Jan. 6 crimes ‘un-American’

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (N.Y.) on Tuesday blasted President Trump’s sweeping pardon of people convicted of crimes related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol as “un-American.”

“There is no other way to describe President Trump’s pardon of Jan. 6 offenders than un-American. Let’s be clear. President Trump didn’t just pardon protesters. He pardoned some people convicted of assaulting police officers and seditious conspiracy,” Schumer said on the Senate floor.

“It’s a betrayal of the highest order of our Capitol police officers who risked their lives to keep us safe,” he said.

Trump on Monday pardoned and commuted the sentences of more than 1,500 people convicted of Jan. 6-related crimes, including individuals assaulted of assaulting police officers.

Trump’s sweeping action wiped out the prison sentences of former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, who were convicted of seditious conspiracy and other charges.
