Trump's Riot Pardons, Democrats' Warning

On the fifth anniversary of the January 6th, 2021 Capitol riot, President Trump and Democrats presented starkly contrasting narratives. Trump, following his 2024 win, pardoned nearly 1,600 riot defendants and launched a new White House site, alleging Democrats staged the real insurrection. Meanwhile, Democrats gathered to caution against the lingering sentiments of January 6th, with Rep. Jamie Raskin emphasizing the need for strong democracy. Former rioter Pamela Hemphill, who served 60 days, rejected her pardon, crediting Capitol Police for saving her life. Special Counsel Jack Smith testified that Trump caused and exploited the attack, while Mike Pence called it a tragic day but a triumph when Congress certified the election. The White House site criticized Pence for cowardice. Trump told House Republicans the riot probe ignored his call for peaceful protest and Nancy Pelosi turning down ten thousand National Guard troops. Over 140 officers were injured, two thousand people entered the Capitol, and lawmakers fled in fear, with Democrats warning its not an isolated event but an assault on democracy.
