Activist Tara Setmayer went off on Republicans helping President Donald Trump’s pardons for Jan. 6 rioters, asking how they are going to give an explanation for their silence to “their children.”

Setmayer, the CEO and co-founder of The Seneca Project, joined MSNBC’s Katie Phang on Saturday and called Trump pardoning about 1,500 Capitol rioters “despicable.”

“This is without doubt one of the most egregious, despicable acts in American history as far as I’m involved. This goes again to the Civil Battle. I virtually think it’s worse than the Civil Warfare people who had been pardoned back then to check out to unite the united states,” she said.

Setmayer argued Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and different Republican leaders can no longer say they’re on the side of legislation enforcement if they’re ok with Trump’s pardons, together with of those rioters who had been violent with police.

She said:

I’ve turn into pals with one of the officers who spoke out about what happened to them on January 6th. And every American who sits there and tries to make the excuse that this election was once about the fee of eggs for them, and they are attempting to totally ignore what Donald Trump promised he would do, and the fact that he called those traitors, sobs, hostages and patriots, how dare he? It spits on the honorable provider of each one who wears uniform and swears an oath to offer protection to this country. As a legislation enforcement officer, particularly the ones who actually put their bodies in harm’s approach to offer protection to those individuals, although they would betray the whole lot that they declare to face for — it is despicable. And everyone who voted for Donald Trump owns this. Every Republican who let Donald Trump get away with what happened on January 6th in order that he may come back to power, Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, all of those leaders who knew better, I’m talking to you guys. You probably did this! I don’t wish to hear any feigned outrage about, well, you understand, that the violent ones, that’s not k. No. Enough of that. You guys knew exactly what you were doing whilst you enabled Donald Trump. And now you own. Now you personal this. And I don’t know how they provide an explanation for to their children, to their sons and daughters who put on that badge or to wear the uniform after they just verified Pete Hegseth, who is another disgrace to the workplace. How do they give an explanation for to their children what they stand for? As a result of it positive as hell isn’t law and order. And it certain certain as hell isn’t patriotism because there’s nothing patriotic about pardoning individuals who tried to violently overthrow our government and beat the hell out of cops and almost kill them. And a few did lose their lives because of this. It’s despicable.
