Marjorie Taylor Greene attacked fellow Republican Lindsey Graham on Sunday after he called Donald Trump's desire to pardon rioters who violently attacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 "inappropriate."

In a statement released Sunday, Greene accused Graham of "pretending to be a friend" of Trump and slammed the South Carolina Senator for condemning rioters involved in the deadly insurrection.


"I don't want to send any signal that it was OK to defile the Capitol. There are other groups with causes that may want to go down to the violent path that these people get pardoned," Graham said.

Graham also added that he wants to "deter" the violence that occurred on January 6th. "And those who did it, I hope they go to jail and get the book thrown at them because they deserve it," he said.
Other Republican lawmakers, including Maine Senator Susan Collins, similarly chided Trump for his pardon suggestion.

"I do not think the president should have made—that President Trump—should have made that pledge to do pardons. We should let the judicial process proceed," Collins said Sunday. "January 6th was a dark day in our history."

Former White House lawyer John W. Dean, who served under Republican President Richard Nixon, added that Trump's idea is "the stuff of dictators."

First tell your mob that any "illegal" things from the investigations should cause them to form up battle groups. Then tell them that *any* charges are all fraudulent. Make sure they know that can be pardoned when they act. "Like our brave patriots on January 6."

Straight out of the Successful Dictator 101 textbook.

I find it interesting that Tucker, who knows the characters in the Swamp very well, says that Lindsey Graham is a straight up fraud.
