Former President Donald Trump expressed his disapproval of President Joe Biden's last-minute preemptive pardons on Monday. Trump specifically targeted former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney, one of the recipients of the pardons, calling her 'a disaster' and 'a crying lunatic.'
During his remarks, Trump questioned the decision to pardon individuals like Gen. Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci, criticizing their actions and statements. He also questioned the rationale behind pardoning Cheney and Rep. Adam Kinzinger, referring to Kinzinger as 'a super crier.'
President Biden issued the pardons just hours before the transition of power at the White House. The pardons included Gen. Mark Milley, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and members of Congress who served on the committee investigating the events of January 6, such as Cheney and Kinzinger.
Trump's comments highlight the ongoing political tensions and divisions within the United States, particularly between the Republican and Democratic parties. The differing perspectives on the individuals granted pardons by Biden reflect the deep-seated disagreements on key issues facing the country.
As the Biden administration begins its term, the pardons issued by the outgoing president have sparked debate and controversy. The contrasting views expressed by Trump and Biden underscore the challenges of unity and reconciliation in a politically polarized environment.
