10% : On Capitol Hill, GOP figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene have lobbied Trump for universal Capitol riot pardons, while others in the party have downplayed the reality of January 6 itself, when a mob of Trump supporters violently stormed the Capitol to prevent the certification of the 2020 election results.
