Kristi Noem: No Blanket Pardons For Capitol Rioters

The Hill reports:

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) said those facing Jan. 6 charges should be evaluated for pardons on a case-by-case basis, adding that she does not want to see attacks like that happen again.

NBC’s Peter Alexander asked Noem on “Meet the Press” whether she thinks that all of those facing charges related to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol should be pardoned. She said, “Each of those situations needs to be looked at separately.”

“What I have been very clear about is that we don’t want to see another January 6th again. Nobody in this country wants to see another day like that again,” she said. “Each of those individuals needs to be looked at separately, as far as what their role was and what was happening in that situation,” she said.
