Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has vowed that he will pardon all peaceful January 6 protesters if he gets elected as the next US president in 2024. Ramaswamy, a 38-year-old Indian American entrepreneur, gained traction after denouncing the US Justice Department for its “political persecution” of nonviolent protesters at the Republican primary presidential debate last month.
In a statement, Ramaswamy criticized the current justice system, stating, “America now has a two-tiered justice system: Antifa and BLM rioters roam free while peaceful January 6 protesters are imprisoned without bail.” He expressed his commitment to unify the country and restore constitutional due process rights to those targeted by politicized federal prosecutions, including peaceful January 6 protesters.
The January 6 riot, which involved over 2,000 individuals entering the US Capitol, occurred as lawmakers were certifying the results of the 2020 election. Former President Donald Trump, speaking at a nearby rally, claimed election fraud and called on then-Vice-President Mike Pence to overturn the results. The riot resulted in the largest police investigation in US history, with numerous individuals facing criminal charges.
Ramaswamy also announced his plans to end the weaponization of police power in America and emphasized the importance of Republican candidates addressing difficult issues. He stated that if Donald Trump secures the Republican nomination, he will support him and, if elected as president, pardon him to help reunite the country. However, Ramaswamy emphasized that pardoning Trump is not the most important thing he will do as president.
Following his strong performance in the inaugural Republican primary presidential debate, Ramaswamy, an entrepreneur-turned-politician, has seen a surge in popularity. He is currently competing against fellow Indian American rival Nikki Haley, the former Governor of South Carolina. According to an opinion poll shared by the Trump Campaign, Ramaswamy is currently in second place with 15% support, while Trump leads with 68%. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is in third place with 13% support.
In a separate incident, it was reported that Ramaswamy escaped unhurt when a sign reading “Truth” fell on him during a campaign event in New Hampshire over the weekend.
Overall, Ramaswamy’s promise to pardon peaceful January 6 protesters and his focus on unifying the country have resonated with some voters, leading to increased support for his candidacy.
