(SNews) – President Donald Trump has promised to pardon the political prisoners who were jailed over the events of Jan. 6, 2021.
During his live town hall event with CNN on Wednesday night, Trump vowed to release the Jan. 6 prisoners early in his administration, arguing that they’ve been “persecuted.”
The event was moderated by CNN’s leftist host Kaitlan Collins.
CNN is famous for planting questions in the crowd during their town halls.
However, Trump was well prepared.
At one point during the contentious town hall, Trump was asked if he will pardon those who were convicted over Jan. 6.
The crowd cheered as Trump responded by pledging to pardon “a large portion of them.”
The 45th president drew comparisons with the violent Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots of 2020.
He noted that “nothing” was done in response to the leftist rioters.
There are “two standards of justice in this country,” Trump warned.
