It’s about time someone stood up for the people who have been unjustly punished for protesting against the corrupt establishment! President-elect Donald Trump announced on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he intends to pardon those involved in the January 6, 2021, Capitol events right from his first day in office.
This is a clear signal that justice will finally be served, and those who were merely exercising their right to protest will no longer be treated like criminals.
Host Kristen Welker questioned Trump, asking if he would keep his campaign promise to pardon the individuals who were part of the Capitol incident, including over 900 people who pleaded guilty. Trump’s response was decisive: “I’m going to look at everything. We’ll look at individual cases. But I’m going to be acting very quickly.”

When pressed by Welker on whether this action would occur within his first 100 days or even on the first day, Trump confirmed, “First day.”
Welker reiterated, “First day?”
Trump emphasized, “Yeah, I’m looking first day. These people have been there. How long has it been? Three or four years, OK? By the way, they’ve been in there for years, and they’re in a filthy, disgusting place that shouldn’t even be allowed to be open.”
