A U.S. Senator from the Upstate has been vocally critical of President Trump. Lindsey Graham appeared on Meet The Press on NBC News Sunday that he believes pardoning those charged in the January 6th incident at the Capitol is " a mistake".
In referring to the incident Graham said the pardons suggest it was "an okay thing to do". Those comments come after Trump pardoned nearly 1,500 people charged in connection to January 6th.
Democratic Senator Adam Schiff of California appeared later in the same program and agreed.
Graham said "I'll be consistent here. I don't like the idea of bailing people out of jail or pardoning people who burn down cities and beat up cops, whether you're a Republican or a Democrat".
Graham was not asked and did not speak on the reported treatment that J-6ers endured while in custody.
