I think he's putting on a show for the centrists. He pardons her and the left responds by throwing their principles aside and Susan B. Anthony under the bus. Centrists think, "Do I really want to side with the group that will toss you aside when it's politically convenient?"
He pardons her and the left responds by throwing their principles aside and Susan B. Anthony under the bus.
"The Left has principles"
"The Left abandons their principles at the drop of a MAGA hat"
These are contradictory statements. The Left has no principles outside the acquisition of power, alone. If they had principles... they wouldn't have dropped them.
Take an Evangelical for example. An Evangelical would never drop his principle that abortion is murder just because it was convenient. Regardless of whether or not you agree with the stance, it is a principle because he doesn't drop it.
Ergo, if the left is constantly dropping principles, then those aren't principles.
So, what is the only thing they haven't ever dropped when politically convenient?

Power.
There's no such thing as a double standard. Only a single standard, and a lie about what that standard is.
