NBC White House reporter Peter Alexander asked the first question in President Trump’s press conference and, of course, it was about the president’s J6 pardons and commutations.
The media has been obsessed with it since Trump issued the pardons and Alexander was trying to trap Trump by asking about violence against police.
But Trump headed him off and explained exactly why he pardoned the J6ers:

As I’m writing this, Alexander finally got to ask Trump about this again and of course he suggested in his question that Trump was saying violence against police was okay. But Trump was having none of that and explained that all of these people have served years in prison.
He then turned his focus on reporters like Alexander and called them ‘horrible’, saying they care more about J6ers than they do about the illegals coming into this country committing violent crimes against American citizens.
I’ll post that video as soon as it’s available so check back soon…
UPDATE: Here’s that video. You’ll also hear Trump tell Alexander to stop interrupting and listen to his answer, like a boss…
