Congressman Seth Moulton was visibly outraged on Saturday after “coward” ICE officials shot and killed another American citizen, using the moment to make a bold claim about Donald Trump and white supremacy.
Moulton appeared on MS NOW over the weekend, and first made the point that those who killed ICU nurse Alex Pretti were either “murderers or executioners.” He went on to lambast ICE officials, from the perspective of someone who served in the Marines.
He noted that he’s “seeing federal law enforcement officials who are absolute pathetic cowards.”
“And let me be clear, I say that as a U.S. Marine veteran, someone who has been in combat, who has seen a lot worse than this, and these guys are cowards. It turns out these folks are Customs and Border Patrol. We’ve seen it from ICE officials as well. There’s multiple officers trying to wrestle this guy to the ground. He is lawfully carrying a weapon. They disarm him and then they shoot him in cold blood,” Moulton stated. “This is the kind of stuff that you see in movies from Iran, from North Korea, from the Nazis in Germany. This is gestapo-type stuff happening in the streets of America. And it’s got to stop.”
He then turned his fury to his GOP colleagues.
“And let me tell you one other thing. The other cowards in this equation here, the other cowards are the Republicans who continue to enable this president and secretary of Homeland Security. Tom Emmer represents Minnesota. He’s the third ranking official on the Republican side in the House of Representatives,” he said. “Where is he? Where is he today? He seems to be more interested in defending this president and secretary of Homeland Security than the American citizen shot dead in Minnesota.”
Moulton went on to make a bold claim about how Trump is being used by aide Stephen Miller.
“I think it’s the intent to invoke the Insurrection Act,” he says of the Trump admin’s recent actions and statements. “Now, my guess is that is not coming so much from our senile president, but from Stephen Miller, the modern incarnation of the gestapo right here in America, a racist full and through, who is using Donald Trump, this increasingly senile president, for his aims of white domination. That’s clearly what’s going on here.”
