Trump is the third US president to pardon insurrectionists. Pardons by the previous two - Andrew Johnson in 1868 and Ulysses S. Grant in 1873 - were followed by years of violent racism and the rise of the KKK.
Joseph Patrick Kelly @cofcharleston.bsky.social; David Cason @uofnorthdakota.bsky.social
The US has pardoned insurrectionists twice before – and both times, years of violent racism followed
It’s not yet clear whether Trump’s pardons will herald a period of national harmony – as past presidents hoped for – or more incidents of violence, as actually resulted.
