No go: Trump squashes talk that he might pardon Derek Chauvin

Despite chatter among online conservative personalities in recent days, President Donald Trump made it clear that he was not a part of any conversations about pardoning former police officer Derek Chauvin, who was imprisoned for the death of George Floyd. 👇

The subject became a hot topic in recent days, with Ben Shapiro and other conservative commentators urging Trump to issue a pardon to Chauvin, who was found guilty in the 2020 death of Floyd, which sparked a summer of violent and destructive protests across the country.

In the days since Shapiro's plea, a debate raged in Right Wing Land over the idea, with some agreeing that Trump should pardon Chauvin…

… and others arguing that it would deal a serious blow to Trump's momentum and Republican mid-term prospects.

Regardless of the arguments being made from both sides, Trump's matter-of-fact statement regarding any potential Chauvin pardon should put the issue to rest…

… for now, at least.
