Kristi Noem pushes pardoning US Capitol attackers so ‘we don’t see another January 6’

South Dakota governor - and Republican vice-president hopeful - says she'll support Trump's pardons if he wins

Kristi Noem, once a contender to be the Republicans' vice-presidential nominee, has argued that people facing charges over the 6 January 2021 attack on the US Capitol should be individually evaluated for pardons - so as to minimize the chances of a repeat.

Each of those situations needs to be looked at separately," Noem said on Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press. What I have been very clear about is that we don't want to see another January 6 again.
