Who is asking for Biden to pardon Trump? Why bring this up? Why are they even commenting on this pardon at all, especially to criticize Biden?

They are going by the old play book which no longer applies and we will continue to lose because of it.

Fourteenth amendment

Prohibits those who "engaged in insurrection" against the United States from holding any civil, military, or elected office


Nope to Vance, that would be part of the deal of the pardon, since Trump was really ineligible, Vance is out too.

Trump can't resign before he's president, which is not yet, and if he stepped down before 1/20, JD would still not be president.

Apparently, we’re not allowed to link that here so I’m not going to. Yeah I know it’s breitbart but it was said on CNN. Please post your picture as proof for anyone who doesn’t believe that he said that because he did according to the article, which is a disgrace.

Apparently, Dean said the same thing- they’ve all gone crazy imo, and should drop out of the party for good.

If you don’t have the courage to fight this disaster then step out of the way and let someone else do it.

I'm sure he was ripped to shreds after that interview. I think we have to move forward with the precedent that Pres Biden / VP Harris set, which is to bring in a new generation of leadership.
