The prospect of granting pardons to those involved in the January 6th attack on the US Capitol is highly concerning. This insurrection aimed to overturn a free and fair election, undermining the very foundations of American democracy. Shielding the rioters from accountability would send a dangerous message that such lawless acts have no consequences. It is crucial to uphold the rule of law and reaffirm that no one is above it, regardless of their motivations. Preserving the peaceful transition of power and respecting the will of the people are essential principles that must be defended. I urge you to take a firm stand against any efforts to pardon those who engaged in this assault on American democracy.
