WASHINGTON— President Trump’s decision to pardon the January 6 defendants marks a pivotal moment in restoring the integrity of America’s justice system. The Heritage Foundation, a staunch defender of the rule of law, commends this move as a clear rejection of the politicized double standards that have plagued our nation under left-wing leadership. 

Dr. Kevin Roberts, president of Heritage, commented on the pardons:    

“President Trump’s decision to pardon nearly all January 6 defendants is a necessary corrective to the brazen weaponization of our justice system by the Left. The Democrats turned January 6 into a political cudgel, using it to distract from their disastrous policies and to smear their opponents. 

 

“This move sends a clear message: justice in America should be blind—not a tool for leftist power grabs. The glaring double standard that turned peaceful dissent into a partisan witch hunt has no place in a free nation.”
