Contributing sentiments towards policy:

38% : Trump's Tuesday night grant of clemency "to all of the nearly 1,600 people charged in connection with the attack" includes pardons for "for violent offenders who went after the police on January 6 with baseball bats, two-by-fours, and bear spray and are serving prison terms, in some cases of more than a decade," The New York Timesnoted.
36% : "Those who truly support President Trump ... we do not support those that commit acts of violence," Hannity said on his show that night, adding that people should not "be vandalizing our nation's Capitol, attacking the brave men and women that keep us safe in law enforcement," and concluding that "all of today's perpetrators must be arrested and prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
26% : But as Trump floated pardons for January 6 convicts, Hannity and Watters continued to maintain that violent offenders would not and should not receive clemency.
26% : Asked by a listener on his December 3 radio broadcast about Trump potentially pardoning all January 6 convicts, including violent offenders, Hannity commented that some had received excessive sentences "for trespassing."
19% : Numerous Fox personalities condemned the Trumpist violence at the Capitol in its immediate aftermath and called for the perpetrators to face consequences, even as they avoided assigning Trump culpability for encouraging the mob to come to D.C. and inciting it with lies about the 2020 election being stolen from him.
