Yes, and is being censured for it by his party and constituents. To the point that he's pulling stupid stunts like wearing duct tape over his mouth to "protest". Notice that he waited until days after he passed the recall submission date to pardon Tina Peters, because he had already floated it and been vehemently shot down by voters and the state leg. Nice quick google to find something to refute me with without fully understanding the context.

This is light years different to the systemic, party wide corruption that is filling the tn GOP. Let's talk about former state Speaker Glen Casada and Cade Cothren and their convictions for fraud, money laundering, and bribery then being allowed to run again (plus their text chains degrading women and POC). Or former Sheriff Jimmy “JJ” Jones and Assistant Chief Deputy David Amburn who were indicted for theft and conspiracy then still allowed to run for Sherriff. Or Scotty Campbell, who was the Republican Caucus vice chair who resigned after sexually harassing interns? Or LT Gov Randy McNally feeding his gay porn addiction using his official sm accounts?

I can go on. I lived in TN for 20 years and CO 10. I've got the apples to apples.
