Gavin Newsom is mercilessly mocked for posting 'war room' photo during LA riots

California Governor Gavin Newsom is under fire for posting a 'war room' style photo of officials meeting while Los Angeles was being torched by rioters.

Thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of LA for a third day on Sunday to protest President Donald Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration.

Rioters looted downtown businesses, blocked off a major freeway, set self-driving cars on fire and wreaked havoc on the city.

Newsom, however, was meeting with state emergency officials, LA police and the LA County Sheriff's Department as the chaos unfolded.

Sharing a photo of the meeting on social media, he said authorities had gathered to 'respond to protests provoked by chaos from Washington'.

The Democrat further blamed the president for the riots, saying: 'We're here to keep the peace - not play into Trump's political games.'

But his remark was quickly met with backlash as outraged citizens branded him a 'clown' and begged him to 'stop escalating the situation'.

One angry social media user even went as far as urging that 'every person in that room who swore an oath to the Constitution should get up, walk out, or face arrest and trial later for their insurrectionist behavior'.

These guys better watch their step as they leave the room or they might slip and fall from all the grease on Newsome’s hair.

Black vans should whisk Newsom back to Travis AFB to board a flight to a federal detention facility to await trial.

Call congress-——WHO’S BEHIND THE ANTI-ICE RIOTS IN LOS ANGELES?

Hundreds took to the streets this weekend: blocking roads, attacking federal officers, even burning flags. But this wasn’t “spontaneous outrage.” This was organized. Funded. Coordinated.

At the center of the funding web is CHIRLA—the Coalition for Humane Immigration Rights. Documents reveal the group saw a shocking jump from $12 million to $34 million in government grants in just one year.

While most of that is believed to come from the State of California, the group has received federal funding as well.

Evidence Suggests LA “Riots” Over ICE Raids Could Be Govt‑Funded

What began as a so-called “spontaneous protest” against ICE enforcement operations in Los Angeles has now been exposed as something far more insidious: a well-funded, coordinated riot, with ties to radical left-wing organizations, government-backed NGOs, and even a billionaire known for pushing Chinese Communist propaganda.

According to a damning exposĂŠ by investigative account @DataRepublican, several nonprofit organizations and shadowy political fronts played a pivotal role in igniting the chaos that saw federal officers attacked, flags burned, and city streets blocked.

But what’s more alarming: tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer money may have indirectly fueled the unrest.

Trump has defined Newsom and Bass as the Communist shills they are.

Go Trump!

I am guessing this is how the "War Room" meeting went:

Gavin : Should we appease them by going bare buttocks and backing up to them?

The committee: Yes, that is exactly what we must do.
