The J6 pardons encourage more domestic terrorism

A smartly reported story in the Washington Post (yes, the Post) focuses on the dangerous consequences.

The second Trump regime has begun with its expected awfulness, but the mainstream media have been a bit surprising by actually focusing on the corrupt actions of the new president. In this short On-Target video, Steven Beschloss and I focus on a Washington Post story headlined “Clemency for Oath Keepers, Proud Boys fuels extremism threat, experts say” (gift link). The Post has plenty of problems these days – its owner cozying to Trump, its staff fleeing – but this is a valuable piece of reporting.
