Well, the thing is, Rainbow Dash is NOT Twilight Sparkle.

Meaning, Rainbow is not an hypocrite, Twilight is.

Rainbow's forgiveness of Glinda was sincere. And when Pinkie put forth the notion that Glinda could be redeemed, Rainbow was open to it.

Unlike Twilight, who treated Trixie like manure and was unwilling to forgive Trixie.

So yes, Rainbow can forgive Lightning Dust. Because she is not judgemental like Twilight, and she is open to the idea that a former bully can change her ways.
