Republican Senator Lindsey Graham spoke out against President Trump's decision to issue blanket pardons for the involved in the January 6 Capitol Insurrection, cautioning that such pardons could encourage more violence.
"He had the legal authority to do it," Graham said on NBC's Meet the Press, while acknowledging Trump's authority. "But I fear that you will get more violence. Pardoning the people who went into the Capitol and beat up a police officer violently I think was a mistake, because it seems to suggest that's an okay thing to do."
