It's hard to believe that anyone would take Democrats seriously anymore.
We heard from them over the weekend of anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles that "protesters" were mostly "peaceful" while they attacked President Donald Trump for having the temerity to send in the National Guard to help protect the citizens and federal agents. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) was among the Democrats pontificating and getting it wrong.

It's Not a Crisis Unless Cory Booker Gets It Unbelievably Wrong
Rather than effectively focusing on the problem and supporting federal law enforcement, you had people like California Gov. Gavin Newsom doing performative theater to challenge Trump. He claimed the rioting was because of Trump and dared him to arrest him. Newsom earlier claimed that calling out the National Guard was unnecessary and that they had things under control.

But it looks like Los Angeles Police Department Police Chief Jim McDonnell blew up that Democratic narrative during his press conference on Sunday night: "We are overwhelmed."
He was asked if they needed the National Guard. His response was, "This thing has gotten out of control."
He also pointed out the role of the radical leftists.
But he said they are going to hunt these characters down, that the arrests they've already made will pale compared to those they will make.
McDonnell said the District Attorney will file felony charges where warranted, and that the feds are going to get them as well. And the feds "don't play," as McDonnell warned.
He's got that right. Even if the D.A. doesn't come through, the feds are going to get everyone they can involved in this, and they're not going to be happy campers with the results.
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."
