Why would Ron DeSantis pardon Donald Trump if DeSantis wins the presidential election in 2024? Because it is the right thing to do. In a podcast with Megyn Kelly that aired on YouTube on Friday, she asked about a pardon for Trump and DeSantis explained his opinion. The Sirius XM host led into the question by acknowledging DeSantis’s talks about ending the weaponization of government.
DeSantis said yes to a pardon without actually saying yes.
“Well, what I’ve said is very simple: I’m gonna do what’s right for the country,” DeSantis said. “I don’t think it would be good for the country to have an almost-80-year-old former president go to prison.”
“So that’s a yes,” Kelly pushed.
“It just doesn’t seem like it would be a very good thing,” DeSantis continued. “And I look at Ford, who pardoned Nixon, and took some heat for it, but at the end of the day it’s like, do we want to move forward as a country, or do we want to be mired in these past controversies? And I think the public wants a fresh start, I think they want somebody that’s going to focus on their issues. We’ve had a lot that’s happened over the last five or six years. I get that, but going forward, we got all these issues that we’ve gotta deal with.”“I don’t think it would be good for the country to have an almost 80-year-old former president go to prison.”
