Republican Gov. Chris Sununu of New Hampshire said Sunday he disagrees with former President Donald Trump’s suggestion that he would pardon people charged in connection with the deadly Capitol insurrection if he was reelected.
« The folks that were part of the riots and, frankly, the assault on the US Capitol, have to be held accountable. There is a rule of law, » Sununu told CNN’s Dana Bash on « State of the Union. » « I don’t care whether you were part of burning cities in Antifa in 2020 or storming the Capitol in 2021, everybody needs to be held fairly accountable across, » he added, appearing to refer to violence tied to racial justice protests in 2020. « They shouldn’t be pardoned? » Bash asked, referring to the Capitol rioters.
