McGovern SLAMS Trump For Saying He DOESN'T CARE About Americans' Finances

Published | Video Starts at 01:36

And let's not forget, mere hours after he was sworn in, on his very first day in office, President Trump pardoned the violent criminals who attacked police officers on January 6th. Now, let me say that again in case anyone forgot. Donald Trump, on his first day in office, pardoned felons who viciously beat police officers at the Capitol Building. Now, some of the people he pardoned have since gone on to do even more terrible things, including in my district, where one of them was just rearrested on child pornography charges. (01:36–01:46)
