It was between Peas and Carrots. Peas won, but BOTH received a pardon. Trump’s nice like that.

This wasn’t just ANY turkey pardon, though. Trump delivered the jokes!

“Unfortunately, Carrots refused to concede and demanded a recount, and we are still fighting with Carrots. I will tell you we’ve come to a conclusion. Carrots, I’m sorry to tell you, the result did not change!”

“Peas, and Carrots will both live out the rest of their day at Gobblers Rest,” he continued. “However, it won’t be entirely a rest. Even though Peas and Carrots have received a presidential pardon, I have warned them that House Democrats are likely to issue them both subpoenas.”
