They didn't want to award the Capitol Police a medal or a plaque but want to reward the people who orchestrated and took part in the violence that injured me and ended my career. In the name of national reconciliation, they pardoned the same rioters who attacked us and now being rewarded for the violence they inflicted on us the officers.
They are trying to make the lives of the rioters whole or better than before they assaulted us. Yet to the officers, no apology, no compensation, no acknowledgment of the bravery and sacrifice we made to protect “each of your representatives” regardless of what party they belong.
Why did we risk our lives for then?
What a betrayal this is to us and to the rule of law days after “police week”.
More than 140 officers were injured defending the Capitol on January 6th.
They waited six years for the plaque in their honor to be hung in the Capitol.
They watched as Donald Trump pardoned every single one of their assailants.
Some of them can no longer work and cannot even get disability benefits.
But Donald Trump has set aside nearly $2 BILLION of your taxpayer money to pay the criminals who assaulted them.
It’s a punch in the face to every police officer in this country who puts his or her life on the line to protect us.
I support Officers Daniel Hodges and Harry Dunn in their lawsuit to stop this outrageous scheme.
@WaltDisneyWorld Not sure what I was expecting but this looks EXTREMELY phoned into me… it just looks like the old ride exactly with some Muppet stuff sprinkled around… what happened here?
Donald Trump pardoned hundreds of violent felons who brutally beat police officers on January 6th.
Now he wants to pay them with a nearly $2 billion slush fund using taxpayer money.
Everyone involved in this crooked scheme will be held accountable.
Thomas Massie and I don’t agree on much.
But billionaires and special interest groups spent $35 million in Kentucky to unseat one conservative congressman — all because he stood up to Trump.
It’s everything that's wrong with our politics today.
Keep posting this so people don’t forget how truly bad this event was.
Don’t let people gaslight you into thinking it was peaceful and worthy of 1500+ pardons and slush fund payoffs.
@P_dubya_S@MikeLevin@realDonaldTrump Impeach him!? Republicans won’t even say this is wrong, they are so scared for their careers they won’t say a peep…. Self over country, party over country, Trump over country… it’s despicable
Imagine if Biden:
• Created a $1.8 billion slush fund to hand out to rioters who assaulted police officers
• Banned the IRS from auditing him, his family, and his companies
• Accepted a $400 million luxury jet from a foreign monarchy
Pardoned hundreds of people who assaulted police officers
• Openly promoted his own meme coin while in office
• Had family members cutting international business deals while he was in office and directly profiting from them
• Repeatedly “joked” about staying in office past two terms
• Repeatedly praised Xi, Putin, and Kim Jong Un
The outrage would never end.
The fact that people are becoming numb to this level of corruption is insane.
