Recent surge in violent crimes has made ‘law & order’ a hot button topic, again

Jeff Greenfield:

Every time I think, alright, right now I’ve seen the ultimate, you know, that’s a bridge too far and the bridge collapses like it did in Pittsburgh, because when you’re talking about pardons, you’re not talking about people who peacefully protested, who went to the rally where Trump spoke. The only people you pardoned are people who’ve been accused of crimes, seditious conspiracy, breaking into the Capitol, committing violence. And the idea that that would appeal to the broad base of the Republican Party at one point would have seemed to me absolutely incomprehensible. And so are we waiting for Senator McConnell or Congressman McCarthy or Sean Hannity or anybody to say, No, no, you can’t do that? You know, so far, I’m hearing crickets.
