When it comes to shamelessness, we’re on a topic Perry knows something about. His efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election — up to and including attempts to throw out his own constituents’ votes — are the very definition of the word.

Here’s where allegations of pardon-seeking get dicey for Perry. One wouldn’t seek a pardon, seemingly, without having done something pardonable; without knowing it was unlawful and doing it anyway, to paraphrase Cheney.
-
If Perry truly believes his actions have been honorable, reputable and, most importantly, lawful, he should testify. If he has done nothing that would require a pardon and has taken no steps to secure one, he should declare so in a forum more substantive than a tweet.
