Radio host Charlamagne the God warned that the possibility of President Biden pre-emptively pardoning President-elect Donald Trump's political opponents could “make them look guilty.”
“I don't think President Biden should do preemptive pardons either. People look guilty if you ask me,” Charlamagne said on the “Breakfast Club” podcast. stated in Highlighted by Mediaite.
The comments come as Biden's potential for preemptive pardons for people he fears could be targeted under the incoming Trump administration has divided the Democratic Party and sparked a backlash from Republicans. It was done.
Lawmakers who served on the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, invasion of the U.S. Capitol have been prioritized for pardon after President Trump indicated he was open to jailing them. He has emerged as one of the members of Congress who may be subject to this.
In the episode, Charlamagne said it “seems strange” to pre-emptively grant a pardon when he has done nothing wrong.
“I don't understand why you would preemptively give someone a pardon. It's like, 'Okay, I know this person is guilty of something, and Trump might go after them.' I feel like that,” Charlamagne said.
Instead, he suggested that nonviolent drug offenders should receive amnesty.
“Biden should pardon all nonviolent drug offenders in federal prison. He should pardon all nonviolent drug offenders in federal prison, okay? He should pardon all nonviolent drug offenders in federal prison, okay? I'm sure it will help you [former Baltimore City State Attorney] Marilyn Mosby,” Charlamagne said.
Mosby, who was convicted of mortgage fraud and perjury earlier this year, was joined by members of the Congressional Black Caucus, civil rights attorney Ben Crump, the Rev. Al Sharpton, activist Angela Rye and others. All claim that he was a politician and are asking Biden to pardon Mosby. Trump's target.
