Vice President J.D. Vance issued a pointed warning on Friday to Democrat governors across the country, stating that if they fail to stop rioters from destroying American cities, the Trump administration will deploy federal law enforcement to restore order, Breitbart reported.
“If you let violent rioters burn great American cities to the ground, then of course we’re going to send federal law enforcement in to protect the people the president was elected to protect,” Vance said during remarks in Los Angeles.
Vance emphasized that the Trump administration prefers local leaders to handle law enforcement but will act if necessary to preserve safety and order. “The President has a very simple proposal to everybody and every city, every community, every town — whether big or small,” Vance said. “If you enforce your own laws, and if you protect federal law enforcement, we’re not going to send in the National Guard because it’s unnecessary.”
The warning comes in response to recent riots in Los Angeles and other major cities, where local officials have struggled to contain violence and destruction. Vance said the situation in Los Angeles has “gotten a lot better,” but added that the presence of U.S. troops remains critical.
He said he’d heard from everybody that the soldiers and U.S. Marines who had been deployed to quell the violence of the Los Angeles riots were “still very much a necessary part” of what was happening.
Vance sharply criticized Democrats California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for what he described as failures in leadership. He accused both officials of encouraging illegal migration, saying it has “strained” law enforcement agencies and essential public services.

I can’t wait ‘till this guy is president.
Think of the US as a gated neighborhood and Trump/Vance are the president and vice president of the HOA.
You clean up your place or the HOA will do it for you, and charge you for it.
The democrats are staging the riots.
It’s part of how they intimidate the public.
Isn’t that ‘control’ enough?
These A-holes encourage their mentally ill constituents to destroy OUR cities and expect US to pay to replace what they destroyed, burned and stole.
F them.
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union...on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.US Const., Art. VI, Sec. 4.
Not that they are looking at this, but SHOULD BE - this is a rare instance of constitutional support for federal interference with a state's affairs.
Good Point!!
he has great potential that is for sure.
1st time I’ve ever wanted HOA enforcement!
Control—or be controlled.
Shouldn’t Bondi be the one orchestrating all of this? (Rhetorical question as she’s too busy hobnobbing with all her new Beltway Buddies.)
Support Civilization or Others will impose Civilization upon you.
So, that’s the mistake that Trump made in the first administration. He allowed the democrats to create a chaotic situation in the districts that they control and did not deploy the governance required to maintain peace. People respect democrats because they know how to govern. Thats why they keep getting voted into office. People don’t respect leaders that do not exercise the authority that they’ve been granted by virtue of the electorate. That’s why the conservatives keep losing midterms.
Enforce The Law...
Those governors WANT the chaos and anarchy.
Vance isn’t “orchestrating” anything here, he just made a comment stating the obvious, which sounds very cool, but that’s all that it is, sending a message on behalf of the President. The main functions of a VP are to break ties in the legislature and to attend funerals. These days, also to advise, though in FDR’s time the VP was kept in the dark.
Agree.
I think Vance is the real author of the FAFO Doctrine.
Did I say Vance is orchestrating anything? No. My point is that our Attorney General should be in the lead on this and get off her pampered butt and do something.
Finally, law and order!
People need to recall governors who don’t comply with keeping streets safe and riot free.
Guess many don’t understand what what we the people mean.
