Topics
Meghna Chakrabarty: 我认为特朗普总统对参与1月6日国会山事件的个人进行大赦,这严重地破坏了美国的法治原则。这一行为不仅无视司法程序,也动摇了公众对法律公平公正的信心。 Paula Reid: 特朗普总统的大赦行动是草率和不负责任的,它没有区分暴力和非暴力行为者,这使得许多为维护法律秩序而努力的人士感到沮丧和失望。 Mary McCord: 特朗普总统的赦免令不仅是对法治的公然践踏,更是对美国民主制度的严重威胁。他的行为不仅无视司法程序的公正性,也为未来的违法行为开了绿灯。 Danny Hodges: 作为一名在1月6日事件中遭受暴力袭击的警察,我感到愤怒和受伤。特朗普总统的赦免令是对我们这些维护法律秩序的人的侮辱。 Enrique Tarrio: 我认为总统的赦免行动是朝着正确方向迈出的一步,但这并不意味着我们将停止为我们的目标而奋斗。我们将继续努力,确保我们的声音被听到,我们的权利得到尊重。 Stuart Rhodes: 我认为司法系统对我们这些爱国者进行了不公正的审判,而总统的赦免行动是对这一不公正的纠正。我们从未得到公平的审判,我们被政治迫害了。 Donald Trump: 我赦免这些人的原因有很多,其中最重要的是他们被关押了太长时间,受到了不公正的待遇。他们只是在抗议选举结果,他们有权这样做。 Mike Johnson: 我认为总统有权赦免任何人,而他做出了这个决定。我们应该向前看,而不是向后看。
