Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) on Tuesday said that he disagreed with President Donald Trump's decision to pardon violent Capitol rioters who assaulted police officers.
Speaking with reporters, Tillis said he's worried that Trump's pardons could set a precedent that "police officers could potentially be assaulted and there's no consequences."
Tillis also questioned whether the violent felons released by Trump still posed a threat to lawmakers.

Tillis also condemned former President Joe Biden for pardoning multiple members of his own family shortly before leaving office.
