Graham — a longtime defender of President Donald Trump's — called out the move to issue blanket pardons for those charged in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. The post Lindsey Graham Calls Out Trump’s Jan. 6 Pardons as a ‘Mistake’ on Meet the Press: ‘I Fear That You Will Get More Violence’ first appeared on Mediaite.

The republican senator also laid into former President Joe Biden for pardoning "all of his family going out the door."

The South Carolina Republican told CNN that he “did not like” how Trump pardoned people who “beat up cops,” and suggested he would be open to curtailing the presidential pardon power.

Trump pardoned about 1,500 people who were charged for their actions during the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. That number includes 172 who pleaded guilty to assaulting law enforcement officers. Graham, however, points out that Trump said he would grant the pardons if he was reelected.

Sen. Lindsey Graham said in an interview that he thinks it was a “mistake” for Trump to pardon those who committed violent acts on Jan. 6, 2021.
