Many pardoned January 6 Capitol rioters attended the Conservative Political Action Conference on Saturday where they were largely hailed as heroes, with crowds even creating chants in support of them.
The conference, which began last Thursday, is the first large gathering of conservatives since the inauguration of President Donald Trump into his second presidential term. Trump strategist-turned-political commentator Steve Bannon excitedly announced the presence of pardoned January 6 rioters at the event, according to Time Magazine.
