Inaccurate comparison
Jim Slusher notes, “President Trump issued pardons for nearly 1,500 individuals convicted of crimes ranging from rioting and assault on officers of the law to outright sedition.” In the next paragraph, he writes, “Former President Joe Biden just did virtually the same thing for virtually the same reason … he pardoned nearly 2,500 people convicted of non-violent drug crimes …” I fail to understand how these two sets of pardons can possibly be labeled “virtually the same thing” or “the same reason.”
