Dem Rep. Robert Garcia Claims Trump ‘Is Building Himself a Private Army’ by Pardoning Jan. 6th Rioters

EXCERPT:

GARCIA: “A huge danger. Ayman, I think, you know this. We had a group of militia, of insurrectionists, trying to overthrow the government. Let’s not forget what actually happened. They attacked our United States Capitol. They attacked police officers. They tried to change a election that was won fair and square, and they were sent to do so by Donald Trump. Now he wants to essentially silence and punish anyone that was involved in holding these people accountable. And I think the other piece of this that people aren’t talking about is what Donald Trump is also doing is he is signaling to all of these folks across the country, very dangerous people, by the way, that now have been pardoned, and there are other militia groups, that he is going to protect them. He is building himself a private army and militia of people across the country that are willing to do whatever it is that Donald Trump says. And I think we’ve got to take this very seriously and know that what he is doing is damaging and harming our national security infrastructure while building his own and supporting those militia, those white nationalist groups that are supporting him across the country. It’s really dangerous.”
