Sen John Fetterman Torches His Own Party Over Response to Anarchy in Los Angeles

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) chastised his party for refusing to condemn anarchy in the streets of Los Angeles as rioters continue to terrorize the city in response to federal immigration enforcement.

Fetterman posted an image of several Waymo vehicles on fire in the streets while a masked man stands atop one that has been thoroughly vandalized, waving a Mexican flag.

A borderline act of war by criminal invaders on full display.

"I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration—but this is not that," Fetterman wrote on X. "This is anarchy and true chaos."

"My party loses the moral high ground when we refuse to condemn setting cars on fire, destroying buildings, and assaulting law enforcement."

The problem here is that the overwhelming majority of Fetterman's party supports these riots. They encourage them. If they could stand atop that vehicle and wave the Mexican flag themselves, they would.

Reactions to the Senator's post ranged from support for being a lone voice in a resistance party that supports anarchy, to encouragement that he speak out even more vociferously.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted an American flag emoji. Former California Senate candidate James Bradley urged him to go the extra mile.

"Directly confront your party’s failure to enforce immigration laws like 8 U.S.C. § 1324 and § 1325," Bradley replied. "Sanctuary policies and weak borders enable this chaos and illegal settlement."

"America sees these riots for what they are—don’t let Democrats dodge the truth."

I unapologetically stand for free speech, peaceful demonstrations, and immigration—but this is not that.

This is anarchy and true chaos.

LA Rioters Brandish 'Head' of Trump, Set Waymo Cars on Fire; Even CNN Admits There's a Problem

Several responses to Fetterman's post encouraged him to take the red pill already and switch parties. He's consistently flirted with joining the saner of the two political parties with his comments for some time.

Fetterman joined GOP Sen. Dave McCormick (PA) at a bipartisan forum about the importance of border security last week and called out the "chaos" at the border that led to the need for ICE raids in the first place.

"Look at the numbers, 267,000, 300,000 people showing up at our border. And, you know, we can all agree that's roughly the size of Pittsburgh. Now, that's unacceptable," he said. "And that's a national security issue. And that's chaos."

To his Democrat colleagues, however, chaos is not only acceptable, it's encouraged.

You must feel very troubled to see your party violently protesting in support of criminal illegal aliens.

It must be very hard to see democrats become so radical & extreme.

Meanwhile, the agitation in the streets of LA by pro-illegal rioters continued for a fourth straight day Monday, with police firing rubber bullets and flash bangs at demonstrators and detaining hundreds after warning them to disperse.

Some protesters threw objects, including apparent fireworks, at police.
