Graham: Pardoning Rioters Would “Destroy Trump”

“There are a lot of people urging the president to pardon folks who participated in defiling the Capitol, the rioters.

“I don’t care if you went there and spread flowers on the floor, you breached the security of the Capitol, you interrupted a joint session of Congress.

“You tried to intimidate, assault, you should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and to seek a pardon of these people would be wrong.

“I think it would destroy President Trump and I hope we don’t go down that road. They chose to go into that Capitol, defile the Capitol.

“President Trump never said, ‘Go into the Capitol and try to interrupt a joint session of Congress.’

“That was a choice they made and they need to live with that choice.” – Sen Lindsey Graham, speaking today on Maria Bartiromo’s Fox News show.
