You may never see a starker picture of just how bad the Democrats are than the one I will show you here.
Rioters are way out of hand in Los Angeles. There were police hiding under an overpass after their cars were pelted from above with rocks by rioters. The rioters were trying to get to them, even trying to light the cars on fire and dropping Lime scooters on them.
Do you think this behavior makes people more likely to support illegal immigration?

You can see how dangerous it is, and how at risk those officers are.
But here’s how California Gov. Gavin Newsom was dealing with the situation.
He responded to a video, saying it was old, which it was. But that response also infuriated the public on X, since the actions above were very much current.

Many responded to him with video of the current action.

Not to mention the Democrat was governor in 2020, too. Is he telling us he has a long history of failure?
His Press Office appeared to be laughing about what was going on, in a response to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, on its official X account:
Are you going to send in the Marines the next time the Philadelphia Eagles win, too? https://t.co/MYjAnNhFBd pic.twitter.com/WEaAWpCfoL

Then Newsom tried to blame President Donald Trump and Border Czar Tom Homan for what’s happening. Homan had said if they impeded law enforcement, it’s a felony.

Listen as Newsom comes to the defense of the illegal aliens who are just “trying to live their lives.” He challenged Homan to arrest him–here, calling the Border Czar by his first name.
🚨 JUST IN: Gavin Newsom says the illegals rioting in the streets are “just trying to live their lives and pay taxes.”
He also challenged President Trump to ARREST him.
“ARREST ME! Let’s just get it over with.”

Seriously? This is what he’s doing, while Los Angeles is in chaos, trying to play to media to hit at Trump? Stop the damn political posturing for the leftist base. You’re done for 2028. Americans think you’re the governor of a mess.
Notice Newsom thinks Homan needs to grow up. How about talking to his childish press office? How about looking in a mirror and taking some responsibility?

Do the job you’re supposed to do to protect the people of California, Gov. Newsom.
Trump and the DHS shouldn’t have to do your job for you.
Editor’s Note: President Trump isn’t going to allow lawlessness to reign in America. We will not have a repeat of 2020’s “Summer of Love.”
