Jim Cornette Explodes on “Pigfaced” Donald Trump After Report on Pardoned January 6 Defendant

Jim Cornette is back on Donald Trump’s case — and this time, the trigger was an NBC News update that tied one of Trump’s January 6 pardons to a disturbing new criminal sentence.

After an April 1, 2026 report from NBC News revealed that a man previously pardoned by Donald Trump for his role in the January 6 Capitol riot has now been sentenced in a separate case involving more than 100,000 child sexual abuse images and videos, Jim Cornette immediately sounded off.

Cornette took to Twitter and fired off a furious response, taking aim not just at Trump, but also at his supporters. He made it clear he believes the situation reflects a deeper issue with leadership and accountability.

“When are the f****** moron MAGAts going to realize that the pigfaced piece of s*** calling himself the President doesn't give a s*** about crime, laws or ANY OF YOU.”

Cornette didn’t stop there, doubling down on his criticism and tying the case directly to what he sees as a broader pattern: “As long as you support his criminal administration you’ll get pardoned, even if you commit crimes against children.”

Cornette has been going after Trump hard in recent months, including after a major address where he ripped him as an “obnoxious, babbling fool” in “obvious mental decline,” accusing him of embarrassing the country on a global stage. He’s also criticized federal immigration actions, mocked Trump’s public appearances, and even offered $5,000 to a Ford worker who publicly insulted him during a plant visit.

But this time, the heat is tied directly to a real-world case — one involving a pardoned January 6 defendant now facing serious consequences in a separate child exploitation case. That connection is exactly what Cornette is hammering, using the report to argue that Trump’s use of pardons sends the wrong message about accountability.

The fallout is already picking up, with the NBC report and Cornette’s response putting a spotlight right back on how those January 6 pardons continue to echo long after they’re issued.
