We see that. We see it in a variety of contexts, some of which you mentioned,\u201d he said. \u201cSome of it is the FBI going after parents going to school board meeting. Some of it\u2019s how they treat a pro-life demonstrator, how they don\u2019t go after people that are attacking pro-lifers. And so what I\u2019m going to do is \u2014 I\u2019m going to do on day one \u2014 I will have folks that will get together and look at all these cases, who are people who are victims of weaponization or political targeting, and we will be aggressive at issuing pardons. Now, some of these cases, some people may have a technical violation of the law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DeSantis also said that he would look to issue the pardons during the early days of his administration, not toward the end as most administrations do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut if there are three other people who did the same thing, but just in a context like BLM and they don\u2019t get prosecuted at all, that is uneven application of justice, and so we\u2019re going to find ways where that did not happen,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd then we will use the pardon power \u2014 and I will do that at the front end. You know, a lot of people wait until the end of the administration to issue pardons. We\u2019re going to find examples where government\u2019s been weaponized against disfavored groups, and we will apply relief as appropriate. But it will be done on a case-by-case basis, because I think you\u2019ve got to make sure that \u2026 there\u2019s a whole bunch of cases that don\u2019t necessarily get headlines. But if people are being treated just because they don\u2019t get on TV or something, they\u2019re being treated disfavorably. They need to have a fair hearing as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he would consider even pardoning Trump, DeSantis said, \u201cI would say any example of disfavored treatment based on politics or weaponization would be included in that review, no matter how small or how big.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis said during an interview this week that he was willing to pardon former President Donald Trump if the facts of the case showed that he was the victim of political weaponization.
