John, I am appalled by Donald Trump’s move to pardon those who broke into the Capitol on January 6, 2021, and violently assaulted police officers.

On January 6, 2021, I was in my chair on the Senate floor trying to certify the results of the 2020 election. But all of that was disrupted when a mob of thugs attacked and trashed the U.S. Capitol in an attempt to overturn a free and fair election.

The subsequent deaths of five of our law enforcement officers because of that mob and the injuries to approximately 140 others are a fact — and many of them still pay a price today for what happened on that day.

But now the attackers have been pardoned by President Trump, who literally sent them from a rally to come up to the Capitol. What happened to claims by a party of being in favor of “law and order”?

We should stand by those who protect us, and we should be willing to say to them, “thank you.” Thank you for risking your lives for us.

That’s why my team and I have created a petition to reject the January 6th pardons. Will you take a moment to add your name? [[link removed]]

Thank you,
