Insurrectionists storm the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

“If he really cared about public safety in D.C., he would release the billion dollars he has held up—and the Republicans have held up—in funding for the local budget. That’s all local money that they’ve put a hold on,” he stated. “He would not have pardoned 1,600 insurrectionists and violent cop beaters on his first day in office, and he would not have sacked all of these experienced federal prosecutors at the U.S. attorney’s office in the Department of Justice and replaced them with literal January 6 participants and lawyers for the January 6 defendants, and other people who are clearly at odds with the actual public safety of people in the District of Columbia.”
