Republican senators reject Trump’s claim that Jan. 6 convicts are “hostages” and should be pardoned or set free by President Biden.
They assert that individuals convicted of crimes related to the Capitol riot are not “hostages” or political prisoners, but rather received due process through the justice system.
The senators emphasize their confidence in the criminal justice system and the presumption of innocence until proven guilty in a court of law. (Trending: Fox News Star Accused Of Major Scandal)
Senate Republican Whip John Thune, said, “I don’t condone that characterization at all, no.”
“We got a justice system and they’re working through it,” said Thune.
Sen. John Cornyn said, “Somebody who’s been duly convicted of a federal crime is not a hostage.”
“I’m a big believer in our criminal justice system and believe that people are presumed to be innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. But once they are, I accept that verdict and that judgment,” continued the former Texas state Supreme Court justice.
