4:54Now PlayingAfter Trump suggested that he may pardon some of the Capitol Rioters if he gets back in office, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham said that he isn't sure this is a good idea and disagreed with Trump's idea. Marjorie Taylor Greene immediately lashed out at Graham, claiming he's done nothing for the Capitol Rioters, and of course she isn't happy that he disagrees with Donald Trump about anything. Farron Cousins explains what's happening in today's clown car Republican Party.

At Donald Trump's rally down in Texas on Saturday, uh, he of course mentioned that he may, may, if he ever gets back into office, offer some pardons to some of the individuals that stormed the capital on January 6th of last year. Now, the way he phrased it, of course made it seem like if they've been treated unfairly, I may do this a lot of caveats in there, but nevertheless, everybody's been kind of, you know, freaking out about this over the last few days. Some of them rightfully freaking out others making a big deal out of it when they really shouldn't be. But Lindsay Graham went on the Sunday morning talk shows and he very meekly dismissed what Donald Trump said, said it was a bad idea. Here's what he says. I don't wanna send any signal that it was okay to defile the capital. There are other groups with causes that may want to go down the violent path if these people get pardoned.
So he also suggests that, of course, that it was dangerous. Well after this very mild criticism from Lindsay Graham, who has been right there with Donald Trump, every step of the way in steps, Marjorie Taylor green via her telegram account, where she sent out this message attacking Lindsay Graham, Lindsay Graham has done nothing about J six X didn't care about election fraud. And the 2020 election refused to object on J six to Joe Biden's electoral college votes. He doesn't care about our justice system being completely violated by Democrats and their political war against Republicans and president Trump. I guess Lindsey Graham doesn't care about being presumed innocent until proven guilty a are being treated worse than, you know what, I'm just, I'm not even gonna continue. She goes on to say that they're somehow being treated worse than, you know, people in Gimo, which is absolutely false.
People have looked into this real people, not people like Marjorie Taylor green and Matt gates and that other clan of bozos they have, it's not happening. The people who are being held pretrial before they go on trial, still sitting in jail. The reason is because they're either a flight risk or because the courts have determined. These people are dangerous. It happens frequently with our justice system here in the United States, if is still deemed to be a threat or a flight risk, meaning they could leave the country, leave the state even hide out. So we can't prosecute them. Then yeah, we hold on to them so that they can actually face justice. This is not mistreatment. This is the way the system is designed. Now, if you wanna revamp the system, let's have those conversations, but that's not what you want to do. You want these people to get out.
You want them to go free. You don't want any of them to even be prosecuted, even though more than 90% of them are getting off with, well, basically just either community service or home confinement or probation. They're not being mistreated. In fact, the judges have repeatedly told us these people are not being mistreated. And the judges seem kind of off about that because they understand the severity of what these individuals did. And a lot of them have seen these individuals in their courtroom and understand that there's not a whole heck of a lot of remorse among some of 'em. So they should be facing stiffer penalties. But again, those are things I've talked about at length over the last year. What's happening here is Marjorie Taylor green is acting as Donald Trump's enforcer. Okay? Lindsay Graham came out and with Donald Trump in today's Republican party, that's not allowed.
So Marjorie Taylor green has to be the one to come out attack. Lindsay Graham say that he's a useless pile of crap basically. And then make sure that everybody understands there's no room for dissent in Donald Trump's Republican party. You either have to blindly accept 100% of everything that he says and does or we're coming after you. That is the real message that Marjorie Taylor green is sending. It's not about him not standing up for the January 6th capital riots. It's about him disagreeing with Donald Trump and I, you, she is prepared to do this with anyone who goes against every thi single thing Trum
