I. Am. Crying.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass’s argument against the National Guard in her city literally blew up in her face.
The interview took place on Monday on CNN. The network split the scene with video of the riots, including a car blowing up right when Bass said everything is calm.
She literally became the Leslie Nielsen meme.
No, I don’t think the National Guard is needed now. Things in LA are calm.I will tell you that I’m saddened by the extent of the vandalism in the form of graffiti all through the downtown area.But it is important for people to know that even in downtown this is isolated to a few streets. This is not citywide civil unrest taking place in Los Angeles. A few streets downtown, it looks horrible. People committed crimes. It is absolutely unacceptable. And those people that set cars on fire or did other forms of vandalism will be sought to be arrested and prosecuted. This is not the way to promote a cause.
Yeah, um, except the riots were out of control before President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard.
The downplaying also gets to me. “It’s only a few streets. No biggie.”
“It’s only affected some people. No biggie.”
These people are insane.
