Republicans Block Resolution Condemning Pardons For Rioters Who Assaulted Police

Republicans Block Resolution Condemning Pardons For Rioters Who Assaulted Police (HuffPost)

The symbolic resolution would only have condemned pardons for the most violent rioters, but Republicans have mostly moved on from criticizing the Capitol riot.

WASHINGTON ― Senate Republicans on Tuesday blocked a symbolic resolution condemning President Donald Trump’s pardons for rioters who attacked police on Jan. 6, 2021.

Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) asked the Senate for “unanimous consent” to adopt the resolution, connecting the mass pardon for rioters to Trump’s controversial “pause” on all federal grants this week.
