If there's one thing that no one probably needed in the face of the Los Angeles anti-ICE riots, it's Kamala Harris.
Even in relative calm, she can't say much that's coherent. But in the case of riots, guess whose side she's taking? Hint: It isn't the federal government that she claimed to want to lead. She's so useless she can't even call what's happening violence or riots, it's just "what's unfolding in Los Angeles."

Los Angeles is my home. And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are witnessing on the streets of our city. Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to promote chaos. In addition to the recent ICE raids in Southern California and across our nation, it is part of the Trump Administration’s cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division.
This Administration’s actions are not about public safety – they’re about stoking fear. Fear of a community demanding dignity and due process.
Protest is a powerful tool – essential in the fight for justice. And as the LAPD, Mayor, and Governor have noted, demonstrations in defense of our immigrant neighbors have been overwhelmingly peaceful.
I continue to support millions of Americans who are standing up to protect our most fundamental rights and freedoms.
So what do we notice about this?
Harris doesn't in any way condemn any of the violence. Indeed she acts like it doesn't exist, and claims it's been "overwhelmingly peaceful," even as thousands were descending on the Metropolitan Detention Center, attacking law enforcement, and blocking the 101 Freeway.
Somehow, it's Trump's fault because the city has failed to do its job, and he needs to stop the violence. The violence isn't "stoking fear"; to her, stopping it is.
Just like the local politicians, she's encouraging the protests, claiming that fighting against law enforcement is a "fight for justice" in defense of our "immigrant neighbors." This is about defending illegal aliens, but she has to cloak it in the cover language. No, Kamala, say the right words: illegal aliens.
Then, too, this is the third day this is going on. It took her this long to come up with something this lame?
This appears to be the tactic the Democrats are going to take, and even in that, Kamala was slow, not coming out until the talking point was generally established. They will paint leftist riots as "mostly peaceful" and pretend the problem is the government's reaction.
But this shows how horrible Kamala would have been had she won, and how lucky we are that she didn't.

If she thought this statement would set her up for 2028, that would be a big, "Heck, no!"
No surprise that the most incompetent Vice President in history stands with the illegal alien rioters. https://t.co/aaHxcryunh

I am only surprised that she didn’t include a link to a bail fund to bail out the rioters. https://t.co/RcnLph8IMn

Her Royal Wine Mom has weighed in and she wants you to know the protests are mostly peaceful. https://t.co/EShxK2gyIF

Editor's Note: President Trump isn't going to allow lawlessness to reign in America. We will not have a repeat of 2020's "Summer of Love."
