White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt came out swinging in a press briefing on Tuesday with a scathing rebuke of the Democratic Party for inciting the insurrection in California to protect illegal alien rapists and murderers.
Leavitt spent the first five minutes of her opening remarks tearing into the “leftwing radicals waving foreign flags,” California Governor Gavin Newsom, and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for the violent insurrection in California. She displayed photos of the violent graffiti painted across the city and the violence incited by Democrats and carried out by paid insurrectionists.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the President has deployed the National Guard and 700 Marines to stop the insurrectionists and foreign invaders wreaking havoc on California.
California’s Democratic Governor Newsom and failed Democratic LA Mayor Karen Bass have blamed the feds for the violence and filed a lawsuit against the President’s use of federal troops.
Leavitt highlighted the statements from Bass and Newsom and slammed the two for “attempting to use a violent mob as a weapon against their own constituents to prevent the enforcement of immigration law.”
“That’s how radical Democrats have become,” she told reporters. “Their opposition to President Trump has forced them to side with illegal alien criminals in their communities and violent rioters and looters over law enforcement officers, who are just doing their jobs.”
Leavitt then revealed mugshots of the illegal aliens that were recently taken off the streets of Los Angeles, including one Mexican alien, who “was arrested after allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement officers” and is now facing attempted murder charges.
Leavitt later revealed that over 300 illegal aliens have been arrested for their involvement in anti-ICE riots.
Leavitt further put “leftwing radicals in other parts of the country who are thinking about copycatting the violence” on notice that they will be taken down, and that the President’s resolve to defend Americans and expel criminal illegal aliens will only strengthen.
This weekend, the radical left and illegal aliens across the country are mobilizing for a takeover of every major U.S. city to stop the government from executing immigration laws. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the so-called “No Kings” protests are being orchestrated by extremist groups like the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Indivisible, and the 50501 Movement. Some copycat riots have already begun across the nation.
Watch Leavitt’s fiery opening remarks on the riots below:
Leavitt: What we have seen transpire in Los Angeles, California, in recent days is shameful. Leftwing radicals waving foreign flags viciously attacked ICE and Border Patrol agents as well as Los Angeles police officers. These criminals injured police, threw rocks at police cars and officers, burned vehicles, shut down freeways, and lobbed Molotov cocktails, all because the Trump administration was removing violent criminal illegal aliens from the city. These attacks were aimed not just at law enforcement, but at American culture and society itself. Rioters burned American flags, chanting “death to ICE,” and spray painted anti-American slogans on buildings. But President Trump will never allow mob rule to prevail in America. The most basic duty of government is to preserve law and order, and this administration embraces that sacred responsibility.
Democrats like Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass shamefully failed to meet their sworn obligations to their citizens. They didn’t have the courage to do the right thing and protect law abiding Californians from rioters. That’s why President Trump deployed the National Guard and mobilized Marines to end the chaos and restore law and order. The mob violence is being stomped out. Criminals responsible will be swiftly brought to justice, and the Trump Administratiosn’s operations to arrest illegal aliens are continuing unabated.
When the initial immigration enforcement actions took place on June 6, Mayor Bass took to social media to say she was “deeply angered” by what has taken place. Mayor Bass then embarked on one of the most outrageous campaign of lies this country has ever seen from an elected official, blaming President Trump and brave law enforcement officers for the violence. She accused heroic American Immigration and Customs Enforcement Officers, targeting illegal alien murderers, rapists and pedophiles, of “sowing terror in communities and disrupting basic principles of safety in our city.”
Around the same time, Governor Newsom claimed that immigration enforcement actions were causing chaos. That’s how radical Democrats have become. Their opposition to President Trump has forced them to side with illegal alien criminals in their communities and violent rioters and looters over law enforcement officers, who are just doing their jobs. Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom fanned the flames and demonized our brave ICE officers. Instead of defending their city and their state, Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom claimed that in order for the riots and the violence to stop, ICE needed to leave and immigration raids must end. In other words, the position of the Democrat Party is that the federal government is not allowed to enforce our laws and to arrest and deport illegal alien criminals.
They’re attempting to use a violent mob as a weapon against their own constituents to prevent the enforcement of immigration law. This is deeply un-American and morally reprehensible. President Trump received a clear mandate from voters to reverse the illegal invasion ushered in by Joe Biden’s open border, and to end the lawlessness represented by Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom’s California. President Trump promised to carry out the largest mass deportation campaign in American history, and leftwing riots will not deter him in that effort. Sanctuary cities and states will no longer be allowed to shield illegal criminals from deportation. Just take a look at some of the illegal monsters who were taken off the streets in Los Angeles in recent days.
A Vietnamese national, a known gang member with a conviction for second-degree murder. A Mexican national with a conviction for child molestation, who was armed with a dangerous weapon and had previous arrests for robbery and domestic violence. A Filipino national with convictions of rape, assault, burglary, and theft. A Mexican national convicted of statutory rape, narcotics violations, and hit and run. A Nicaraguan national with convictions for domestic violence and hit and run and a previous arrest for willful cruelty to a child. And an illegal alien from Mexico who was arrested after allegedly throwing a Molotov cocktail at law enforcement officers during the Paramount riots on Saturday. He is now being charged with attempted murder.
Law Abiding American citizens do not want these public safety threats living in their communities, no matter what Democrats like Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom may claim. And let this be an unequivocal message to leftwing radicals in other parts of the country who are thinking about copycatting the violence in an effort to stop this administration’s mass deportation efforts: You will not succeed. Any lawlessness will only strengthen this President’s resolve to defend the majority of Americans who want to live their lives peacefully, free from the fear of violent criminal illegal aliens. As President Trump said, order will be maintained and illegal aliens will be expelled from our country.
