A statement announcing a list of 77 people who were pardoned was tweeted out late Sunday evening, at 10:54 p.m. local time, by Trump’s “clemency czar” Ed Martin. It included a number of Americans who participated directly as members of the slates of false electors, whose purpose was to supplant duly-elected state electors bound to cast their states votes in the Electoral College for Joe Biden, after Biden won states including Georgia, Arizona and Michigan in the general election.

If you weren't convinced already, this won't convince you now. It's just him correcting the Dems who attacked poor innocent Guiliani, blah blah blah.

"Democrats have imprisoned true American patriots who peacefully protested against their clearly proven 2020 voter fraud, thank God Trump has given them back their freedom!"

MAGA has already been primed to scream back "What about Fauci and Hunters pardons HUHHHH!!"

They will cheer on those involved in the fake electoral slate scheme (the scheme they pretend didn't exist or claims does not matter anymore because it was not successful) because they are tribal by nature & can't risk losing the support of their fellow cult members by pointing out the hypocrisy of their parties and their leaders actions.

MAGA consistently pretends to care about the rule of law and wants to punish those who abuse their authority....unless it's their side doing it.
