Oath Keepers' Rhodes and Proud Boys' Tarrio released from prison after Trump Jan. 6 clemency

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

32% : Their attorneys confirmed to the Associated Press on Tuesday they had been released hours after Trump pardoned, commuted the sentences of or ordered the dismissal of cases against all 1,500-plus people who were charged with federal crimes in the riot.
29% : Trump said the pardons will end "a grave national injustice that has been perpetrated upon the American people over the last four years" and begin "a process of national reconciliation.
27% : " Trump in May became the first former American president to be convicted of felony crimes when a New York jury found him guilty of all 34 charges in a scheme to illegally influence the 2016 election through a hush money payment to a porn actor who said the two had sex.
26% : And as individuals, they are who they are." Casting the rioters as "patriots" and "hostages," Trump has claimed they were unfairly treated by the Justice Department, which also charged him with federal crimes in two cases he contends were politically motivated.
24% : Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes have been released from prison after their lengthy sentences for seditious conspiracy convictions in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol were wiped away by a sweeping order from President Trump benefiting more than 1,500 defendants.
24% : The pardons were a culmination of Trump's years-long campaign to rewrite the history of the Jan. 6 attack, which left more than 100 police officers injured as the angry mob of Trump supporters -- some armed with poles, bats and bear spray -- overwhelmed law enforcement, shattered windows and sent lawmakers and aides running into hiding.
13% : Rhodes, of Granbury, Texas, was serving an 18-year prison sentence and Tarrio, of Miami, was serving a 22-year sentence after they were convicted of orchestrating plots to stop the peaceful transfer of power after Trump, a Republican, lost the 2020 election to Democrat Joe Biden.
