🚨 A January 6 rioter pardoned by Donald Trump has been ARRESTED for allegedly THREATENING TO ASSASSINATE Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

The man, who was one of nearly 1,600 individuals Donald Trump and Republicans let loose onto the streets, allegedly wrote in texts: "I cannot allow this terrorist to live" and "Even if I am hated, [Jeffries] must be eliminated, I will kill him for the future."

He is not planning on leaving, ever.

But if we do ever take back power, "Presidential Pardon" needs to be ignored. Sure, I understand the implications of that, but nonetheless it needs to be done. We've made the mistake the mistake time and again of NOT holding them accountable, and as a result it has only emboldened them to break the law without remorse.

...from his red "Trump 2028" hats to the AI videos to his social media posts...he's trying to render America numb to the concept so that if he actually goes that route, we will have heard about it daily for four years and will be too exhausted to fight back.

His thought patterns are pretty simple to figure out.
