Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R), now a 2024 presidential candidate, didn’t rule out pardoning Jan. 6 rioters and even his biggest political rival at the moment, former President Donald Trump, in an interview Thursday with a right-wing media personality.

Clay Travis, the host of “The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show,” asked DeSantis whether any of the people convicted of a federal offense for storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, deserved to “have their cases heard by a Republican president.” He also asked DeSantis whether he would pardon Trump if he’s convicted of crimes in the numerous investigations he’s facing.

DeSantis didn’t explicitly mention Trump or the Jan. 6 defenders in his response, but said he was open to looking at “any example of disfavored treatment.”

DeSantis said that on “day one” of his presidency, “I will have folks that will get together and look at all these cases ... people [who] are victims of weaponization or political targeting, and we will be aggressive at issuing pardons.”

6. DeSatan you stupid ass it's not about poliltics

It's about criminality. I don't care who the F you vote for, or who votes for you. Pardoning criminals is stupid. They just get out and do it all over again. Nothing has been weaponized. If anything, the punishments haven't been harsh enough. What are you going to do, build a govt and society run by criminals? Are you a total moron?

9. I don't think Ron should spend a whole lot of time thinking about this.

He's not going to be the GQP nominee, even if the orange felon is behind bars.

10. The POTUS ability to over-ride legal decisions with a pardon

needs to go ASAP.

Seeing how Donny has and Ronny plans to misuse it, it really needs to go.

A POTUS is not above the law, a POTUS is not a King.

11. Ronny

Is just another would be megalomaniac modern day Stalin, Hitler, Saddam, Putin etc. He is showing everyone exactly who he is, just like our favorite National Disgrace has done along with the Republican party doing the same thing. We’re all living in crazy town.
