Race Day Live HARRISBURG — Governor Josh Shapiro is not holding back his thoughts on former President Donald Trump’s decision to pardon and commute the sentences of individuals involved in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
He expressed strong disapproval of the pardons, particularly for those who assaulted police officers and caused damage to the Capitol.
Speaking on the matter, Shapiro emphasized his support for law enforcement and questioned the decision to pardon individuals convicted of such crimes.
“As someone who believes we must treat our law enforcement with dignity and respect, the idea of pardoning someone convicted of assaulting a police officer doesn’t sit right with me,” Shapiro said.
He added that this sentiment likely resonates with many Americans, who value accountability and justice.
