Harris keeps focus on herself when asked whether she’d consider a pardon for Trump

Hallie Jackson, NBC News senior Washington correspondent, was granted a one-on-one interview with Harris and attempted to coax the candidate into revealing if she has any plans to potentially pardon former President Donald Trump should she be elected.

Trump has faced what many refer to as lawfare since he left the White House, being targeted in multiple states by multiple prosecutors. Jackson asked Harris if she “subscribes to the argument” that a president pardoning their political opponent would have a healing effect on America.

“Would you consider if you win and he’s convicted, a pardon for former President Trump?” Jackson asked.

“I’m not going to get into those hypotheticals. I’m focused on the next 14 days,” Harris answered dismissing the question.

But Jackson was persistent and attempted to come at the subject in a different way.

“But do you believe, is there any part of you that subscribes to the argument that has been made in the past that a pardon could help bring America together, could help you unify the country and move them, move on?” she prodded.

“Let me tell you what’s going to help us move on. I get elected President of the United States,” the vice president responded.

Responses to the question, and Harris’s refusal to respond, were mixed:

Kamala you are not in a deposition. You can answer hypothetical. Trump gave your deplorable buddy Hillary a pass. Will you reciprocate? To bring the country together?

@HallieJackson shame on you for asking Madam VP Harris if she would pardon a fascist convicted felon who tried to overthrow the damn government and shit on our constitution. I thought you were a HACK now I’m for DAMN SURE YOU ARE

Pardoning a convicted felon who committed many crimes. Donald Trump deserves prison.

She wouldn’t. She’d use him as a whipping boy to cover her ineptitude for the length of her term.

That won’t help us move on. She and Biden have done all they could to destroy this country. And, they are the ones who used lawfare against Trump

She can’t pardon him from state charges, so why are they bothering to ask her such nonsense. I do hope that she Pardons Hunter Biden tho.
