Gertz, MMFA - Fox News stars have been assuring their audiences that Trump’s long-stated promise to pardon what he termed the Jan 6 “hostages” would be limited ONLY to NONviolent offenders who participated in storming the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. [IOW: "You can trust us, folks....Our VP-elect, JD Vance said that "Obviously those who committed violence that day should NOT be released" and Trump is good and decent man. Don't believe the lying Democrats! We know for a fact he would never do anything so reckless, so stupid!"] But on his first full day in office, [the convicted felon] pardoned or commuted to time served every person convicted in connection to their illegal actions that day - including those who violently assaulted law enforcement and participated in seditious conspiracies. Numerous Fox personalities condemned the Trumpist violence at the Capitol in its immediate aftermath and called for the perpetrators to face consequences! CNN - “Those who truly support President Trump … we do not support those that commit acts of violence,” Hannity said on his show that night. He added that people should not “be vandalizing our nation's Capitol, attacking the brave men and women that keep us safe in law enforcement,” and Hannity concluded that “all of today's perpetrators MUST be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law!!!”
[Note: that was on Jan 6 -- before Hannity realized that trump would be held accountable and was himself in full support of the mob HE created]
Asked by a listener on his December 3 radio broadcast
about Trump potentially pardoning all January 6 convicts,
- including violent offenders -
Hannity commented that “the people that are responsible
for acting in ways that were absolutely irresponsible and
law-breaking, they’ve got to be held accountable!!”
