Jeffries says Trump ‘intentionally’ inflaming unrest in Los Angeles
The Hill ^ | 6/9/25 | Mike Lillis

Posted on 06/10/2025 4:59:29 AM PDT by DallasBiff

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) is hammering President Trump over the clashes in Los Angeles, saying the president is purposefully escalating tensions to distract the country from a volatile economy.

Speaking to reporters in the Capitol, Jeffries railed against Trump’s aggressive deportation policies and defended the rights of Americans to protest such government actions — if it’s done peacefully.

He accused Trump of “fanning flames and inciting things on the ground” to distract from a domestic policy agenda that Jeffries has dubbed “a failure.”

Come on Hakeem, quit trying to twist the knife. You Democrats create more havoc than Trump could ever create.

I expect nation wide riots to be orchestrated by the leftist “Color Revolution Commanders” on Friday, June 13 and Saturday, June 14. June 14 is President Trumps’ birthday and the day of the US Army 250th Anniversary Parade in Washington, D.C.

Well, Mr. Hakeem, it wasn’t Mr. Trump, but the goons you seem to be in love with, who started it. I expect him to use whatever overwhelming means are needed to end it.

Much more interested in illegal aliens than citizens. Traitor.

Nothing say projection more than telling the President of these United States of America that arresting criminals for criminal acts is in and of its self “criminal” because criminals are GOOD for the country. How these people on the left stay in office is a reflection on how utterly stupid the voters really are. “Elections have consequences and then everyone suffers the consequences” applies.

Really. 100% opposite of reality.

Newsome was blaming the riots on the national guard. The guard hasn’t engaged, at all, with the leftist rioters.

Ah, the old “the suspect was making me punch him in the nose,” excuse. These guys are so incompetent. They can’t even come up with a legitimate argument.

As always what’s good for America is bad for the Democrats and what’s good for the Democrats is bad for America!

“inflaming unrest”
“fanning the flames”

But who really started the fires? In the Palisades? And Downtown?

Maybe Trump is flaming it to burn away the debris that is there.
