President Trump said this morning that the National Guard has done a great job in Los Angeles and thanked them.

He also said these far left instigators won’t be allowed to wear masks at protests any longer.

Here’s what he said in full:

Great job by the National Guard in Los Angeles after two days of violence, clashes and unrest. We have an incompetent Governor (Newscum) and Mayor (Bass) who were, as usual (just look at how they handled the fires, and now their VERY SLOW PERMITTING disaster. Federal permitting is complete!), unable to 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. What do these people have to hide, and why??? Again, thank you to the National Guard for a job well done!

I just watched the Democrat congresswoman representing the Paramount area claim that ICE instigated these protests on CNN, saying they were peaceful until ICE officers began deploying tear gas and shooting pellets at protesters. I guess she missed activists throwing rocks at ICE vehicles as they sped by…

She also said that the Sheriff’s office said they had everything under control and didn’t need the National Guard, calling it an unnecessary escalation. Hmm, I wonder how they got things under control???

If they could have done it on their own, they would have. But we saw reports of how they were woefully understaffed at Paramount, where there were hundreds of protesters versus like 30-some officers. They got it under control because Trump called in the National Guard.
