The Republicans of the Senate block the resolution that condemn the Capitol …

However, the GOP senator John Barrasso from Wyoming rejected the resolution and emphasized the presidents published by President Joe Biden. Barrasso pointed out that President Biden had pardoned or reduced the sentences for over 8,000 people and exceeded a former president in history. He emphasized that the resolution did not depend on what he described as the “bid abuse of the pardon power” and criticized the pardon and commutations that were granted to people who were condemned for serious crimes such as killing police officers, murder and rape.

The debate in the Senate reflects the ongoing political gap on the use of the President’s pardoning officers and the different perspectives to answer questions from the criminal judiciary. While the Democrats tried to denounce pardon for those who were convicted of attacks by Capitol police officers, the Republicans expressed concerns about wider pardoning practices as part of the current administration.
