During an appearance on MSNBC on Saturday afternoon, Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) hammered Donald Trump for his blanket pardon of Jan. 6 "criminals," claiming the president has made the streets of America and the Capitol less safe.
Appearing with host Alex Witt, the military vet was asked "I'm curious your reaction to Trump pardoning the January 6th rioters that includes violent offenders"
"They're just criminals," he shot back. "I mean, Alex, how would you feel if –– I was actually just sort of in my small town of 20,000 people where I grew up, right? And I was thinking about if we had a bunch of people who assaulted cops, who tried to kill cops, were convicted and put in prison for 18, 20 or more years, and then they just were released and walking around town. How would I feel?"

"You know, would I feel good about having my kids walking down the street in that town? No!" he exclaimed. "How do I feel about bringing my kids, my two daughters, to the Capitol now, where daddy works knowing that Oath Keepers and Proud Boys are roaming around our Capitol –– and they have been the past week."
"I mean, as soon as they got out of prison, they were roaming around the Capitol looking for some of the same people they assaulted on January 6th," he added. "Does that make anyone feel good? No. This is supposed to be a country of laws where you respect the law, where no one is above the law, where you don't release people from prison for politics."
