What did the American folks assume they had been voting for when those that did so solid their ballots for Trump? Some thought they had been voting for a person who might make the financial injury from COVID go away. Some thought they had been voting for somebody who would enhance their monetary scenario. Others had been simply mad and needed a change.
None of those folks thought that they had been voting for a president who would pardon a baby pornographer, however that’s what they received.
On his MSNBC present The Final Phrase, Lawrence O’Donnell stated:
Trump didn’t finish the Ukraine battle on day one. Trump didn’t do a mass roundup of individuals on this nation for deportation on day one. However on day one, Donald Trump did pardon a baby pornographer. No president’s ever accomplished that. Donald Trump pardoned the most important worldwide drug supplier in historical past. Two pardons that no different president in historical past would ever contemplate.
And tonight, and tonight. And tonight Donald Trump stated moments in the past on Fox that oldsters {that a} youngster leaves residence as a boy and comes again two days later as a lady, a father or mother would not wish to see that. And there are states the place that may occur. Now, if Joe Biden or some other president Had ever stated one thing as insanely false as that, as unattainable as that.
…
You possibly can think about the screaming outrage that you’d get from the White Home press corps. And you’ll proper now think about that there will not be any from this White Home press corps about that. Assertion {that a} youngster leaves residence as a boy and comes again two days later as a lady. And there are states the place that may occur.
That’s like saying a baby leaves residence as a boy and comes again two years later, two days later as a horse. It cannot occur. There’s a demented, pathological liar within the White Home speaking like that. And the White Home Press Corps will settle for that. And never scream about that, as they screamed so continually over the past presidency.
And there’ll in all probability be no questions of Donald Trump, there have not been any to date, about him pardoning somebody who used youngster pornography. The kid pornography consumer can be a Donald Trump fan, who was on the Capitol on January sixth attacking law enforcement officials. Federal prosecutors stated Andrew Kyle Grigsby was the tip of the spear on the West Entrance of the Capitol when he wasn’t busy committing crimes for Donald Trump.
