Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer lashed out at Trump for considering January 6 pardons while staying silent after Biden released 11 dangerous Islamic terrorists from Guantanamo Bay prison.
“It is utterly shameful that the president-elect is considering pardons for January 6 rioters,” Schumer said. “Pardoning criminals who waved Confederate flags, donned Nazi symbols, assaulted police officers, and tried to halt the democratic process would be a dangerous endorsement of political violence.”
“It is wrong. It is reckless. And it would be an insult to the memories of those who died in connection to that day,” Schumer added.

Schumer faced backlash for attacking Trump.
Speaking of shameful:
“The Intelligence Community has six ways from Sunday at getting back at you”
“Joe Biden’s mental acuity is great”
Democrats have been running an insurrection for the last ten years.

Where’s your comment on Biden’s pardons? If you’re gonna take this stand, be consistent. But we know you’re just playing politics and you’re a nauseating hypocrite.

It’s utterly shameful you’ve been sitting on a bill that would stop money from going to the Taliban but haven’t touched it because it was introduced by a Republican.

We get it, you prefer 11 Yemeni terr@rists to be released.

Hey Chuck Schumer, after I receive my pardon, I’m going to stop by your office to say hello while wearing the pardon like a wrestling championship belt.
