Mike Pence had just one answer for the Jan. 6 rioter bold enough to reject Trump’s pardon

Former Vice President Mike Pence has reached out to a January 6 rioter who made headlines for rejecting President Donald Trump’s pardon.

Pam Hemphill, known as “MAGA Granny” after her arrest, received a personal letter from Pence praising her decision to turn down the presidential pardon. According to reports, Hemphill was among the rioters who entered the Capitol on January 6, 2021. She was arrested at her home in Boise, Idaho, several months later. Federal investigators presented evidence, including photos, videos, and social media posts, showing her plans to attend the protest in Washington, D.C, and her presence inside the Capitol building that day.
