Condemn Pardons for January 6th Assaults on Police

The Senate resolution condemns President Trump for pardoning individuals convicted of assaulting Capitol Police officers during the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Senators introduced this measure to disapprove of clemency extended to rioters who injured law enforcement while disrupting certification of the 2020 presidential election results. Upholding consequences for violence against police engaged in their official duties safeguards democratic processes and the rule of law. This resolution affirms that political violence targeting officers protecting constitutional rights will not be condoned.
