The Issue: Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass’ mishandling of the anti-ICE riots.

America today is a country separated into two nations: One Democratic, one Republican (“Cali’s gruesome Newsom twosome,” Douglas Murray, June 13).

There is no more meeting of minds and compromises between them.

I’ve been watching the sad state of affairs in Los Angeles. It galled me to see rioters burning and spitting on a US flag.

Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass are clueless and useless. They should be ashamed of themselves for not instantly responding and nipping this riot in the bud.

The California forest fires, the riots, looting and destruction coupled with the lack of leadership have many Californians fleeing the state.

Are we to believe Bass’ dismissal, saying rioters “got a little unruly” or Gov. Newsom’s absurd surmise that the deployment of the National Guard was “purposefully inflammatory?”
