The progressives have gotten so predictable that you can write their responses for them. One of their cities is overrun by crime and homelessness? "But, but, Trump is Hitler!" Protesters are throwing rocks at law enforcement, setting fires and vandalizing property? It’s “mostly peaceful.” They call for violence, watch it take over their streets, and then say, “but JAN. 6!!”
Like clockwork, California Gov. Gavin Newsom sent out an email from his Campaign For Democracy PAC Sunday morning pretending that he and officials like LA Mayor Karen Bass are victims and that they aren’t part of the root cause of the violence that plagued the City of Angels over the weekend. You can almost hear him saying, “Hey ChatGPT, write a statement using all my favorite meaningless progressive buzzwords, make all my failures sound like successes, and blame Trump for everything that’s wrong with my state.”
If that’s what happened, ChatGPT didn’t disappoint:
Last night, President Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles, using the excuse of protests against his immigration raids.
Let me be totally clear about what is happening here.
We have been working closely with law enforcement. There is no unmet need. The President is attempting to inflame passions and provoke a response.
If there is no unmet need, why are there cars burning in the street? Why are dudes standing on the side of the road hurling rocks at law enforcement vehicles?

He went on to accuse President Trump of inciting violence, when Mayor Bass and other Democrats are on record explicitly calling for action. But of course, when all else fails, we can reminisce about Jan.6, as if that has anything to do with current events:
These are not people who have some deep conviction about protecting law enforcement. This is a President who failed to call up the National Guard when it was actually needed -- on January 6th -- and then pardoned the participants as one of his first acts as president.
But Newsom did get one thing right:
This is not the way a civilized country behaves. It is completely deranged behavior.
Oh wait, no he didn’t. He wasn’t talking about his own deranged behavior or the chaos he has created in the formerly great state—he’s talking about Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, who said he would order Marines to help out if necessary—and Donald Trump.
In reality, it's California that has been sliding backward in almost every category under one-party Democrat rule and is not being run like a “civilized” state.
Here’s his last whopper though:
Don't give them the spectacle they want. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully and in large numbers.
He’s calling for people—anti-ICE proponents of illegal immigration—to come out in large numbers, yet he’s also saying they should do so peacefully. We’ve seen how that’s worked out so far in the South LA city of Paramount.
As I wrote Saturday night, Bass, Newsom and the Democrats wanted violence, they got it, and now they’re playing the innocent victims. It’s all Donald’s fault, you see.
That narrative is not working anymore. That whooshing sound you hear is Gavin Newsom’s national prospects plummeting downward through the atmosphere on a collision course with the Pacific Ocean.
The Democrat Party has never been less popular as voters reject their globalist agenda.
