BREAKING: JAKE TAPPER just told the truth out loud on live TV.
He brought the receipts showed Jan. 6 rioters attacking police, then reminded Kristi Noem that Trump pardoned them all.
When she claimed the law is enforced “equally,” Tapper shut it down immediately
On *CNN’s State of the Union* this weekend, host **Jake Tapper pressed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem** during a contentious exchange about law enforcement and how the Biden and Trump administrations have treated violent events. (
The back-and-forth began with Tapper showing footage of the **January 6, 2021, Capitol riot**, in which supporters of former President Donald Trump violently clashed with police officers, injuring more than 140 and later contributing to multiple deaths and long-term trauma.
When Noem defended her position that laws are enforced equally under the Trump administration — including recent controversial police actions — Tapper challenged that assertion by reminding her that **Trump issued pardons to nearly all individuals convicted in connection with the January 6 attack** after returning to office, a sweeping clemency move that included people who assaulted law enforcement.
“I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers,” Tapper said. “Undisputed proof, undisputed evidence. And I just said President Trump pardoned all of them. And you said that President Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. It’s just not true.” ([Mediaite][1])
Noem responded that each incident must be evaluated “in context” and defended the administration’s broader approach to law enforcement investigations, but **she did not directly refute Tapper’s point about the pardons**.
The exchange drew attention because it underscored ongoing debates about how political violence is treated in the U.S. justice system, especially when contrasted with how other law enforcement actions are framed and justified by administration officials.
