Trump Slams ‘Incompetent’ Newsom and Bass, Says Violent Protesters Will Be Banned From Wearing Masks
President Trump overnight praised the efforts of the National Guard in trying to quell violence stemming from the anti-ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles, California, and ripped California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass as "incompetent."
Pro-criminal illegal alien activists (better known as Democrats) have been targeting and assaulting federal agents who are doing nothing more than enforcing immigration laws. And enforcing those laws is something the American people overwhelmingly voted for in 2024.
Worse, they have been egged on by officials in California and the Los Angeles area who should know better.
The results have been predictable - significant damage, including slashed tires, defaced buildings, with protesters reportedly setting fires, spray-painting anti-ICE graffiti, and allegedly damaging a Fox LA news vehicle by smashing its windows and stealing items inside.
Oh My: Gavin Newsom Throws a Tantrum Over National Guard Being Called In
Trump, in the very early morning hours Sunday, took to his Truth Social media platform to rail against Newsom and Bass, and warn the protesters that they won't be able to shield themselves from being identified much longer.
"Great job by the National Guard in Los Angeles after two days of violence, clashes, and unrest," he wrote. "We have an incompetent Governor (Newscum) and Mayor (Bass) who were, as usual ... unable to handle the task."
"These Radical Left protests, by instigators and often paid troublemakers, will NOT BE TOLERATED. Also, from now on, MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests," the President warned. "What do these people have to hide, and why?"
They hide their faces first and foremost because they are cowards. But above and beyond that, they know they're engaging in criminal activity, realize it will slow-roll any attempts to identify them, and know that if they are arrested down the line, their cases will be forgotten and dropped by the Democrat DAs who support this behavior.
Bass and Newsom have both encouraged the violence. The Los Angeles Mayor, who allowed her city to burn earlier this year while she was living it up at a cocktail party in Ghana, issued a dog whistle message to help light another fire.
Immigration enforcement "tactics sow terror in our communities and disrupt basic principles of safety in our city," she said in a statement. "We will not stand for this.”
Newsom took his shtick to X, where he declared that the National Guard, not the people actually destroying property and engaged in a violent uprising, were "escalating tensions."
The amount of Brylcreem that must have seeped into his skull to make such an idiotic statement boggles the mind.
As my RedState colleague Bob Hoge writes, "They promote violence, then pretend they didn’t."
Not only do they promote violence, but they also promote the invasion that makes law enforcement raids on these violent criminals necessary in the first place.
And somebody has to step in and clean up the mess. All it took was a new President.
