John Barrasso Slams Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass for Response to LA Unrest

Criticism of LA Unrest Response

• ⚠️ Sen. John Barrasso criticizes Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass for their response to anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles, calling the events "riots" rather than peaceful protests.
• 📺 He highlights news reports, including a New York Times front page showing a burning police car, to counter claims of peaceful demonstrations.
• 🚨 Barrasso states that Democrats are "wrong" in their characterization of the events and are attacking the law enforcement community.

Accusations Against Democrats and Illegal Immigration

• 🚩 Barrasso accuses Newsom and Bass of being "unable and unwilling to restore law" and of having "coddled the criminals from day one," many of whom he identifies as illegal immigrants.
• 🚩 He contrasts this with standing with "law-abiding citizens who just want to live a life with safety."
• 💥 The senator details attacks on law enforcement with rocks, bricks, and bottles, and looters breaking into businesses, including gas stations, Apple stores, and jewelry stores.

Trump's Policies and Public Opinion

• 📈 Barrasso claims President Trump's policies of deporting violent illegal immigrant criminals are supported by the public, citing polls showing Americans feel safer under his immigration policies.
• 📊 He notes that support for Trump's policies has strengthened since the LA riots began, with a majority approving of deploying the National Guard.

Republican Proposals for Border Security and Safety

• 🔒 Republicans propose a budget bill investing $175 billion to stop illegal immigration and illicit drugs, hire more ICE and border patrol agents, and finish the border wall.
• 🏥 The bill also aims to stop liberal states like California from using taxpayer dollars for healthcare for illegal immigrants, arguing these funds should strengthen the Medicaid program for eligible citizens.
• 🚫 Barrasso asserts that Democrats continue to support "open borders" and are the "party of crime and criminals," while Republicans focus on delivering safe cities and a safe country.
