To express her outrage over the pardon President Joe Biden gave to his son, Hunter, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) declared yesterday that she wants a “blanket pardon” when Donald Trump retakes office next year.
On Twitter/X, Greene posted, “If Democrats are going to play the pardon game then we should do the same thing. Trump can just blanket pardon all of us too.”
Reportedly, Greene begged Trump for a pardon before he left office in 2020. That’s according to Cassidy Hutchinson, an aide to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, who told the House Jan. 6 committee in 2022, “I heard that she asked the White House counsel’s office for a pardon.”
Greene denied Hutchinson’s allegation, calling it “gossip and lies.”
But the Georgia Republican’s latest reference to being pardoned left many wondering if she had just accidentally confessed to having committed a crime.
Instead of asking for a pardon, Margie might just want to go ahead and put an attorney on retainer.
