California’s Democrat leadership just poured gasoline on the fire. With Los Angeles already under National Guard lockdown and chaos spilling into the streets, Senator Alex Padilla went on MSNBC to encourage protesters to “keep protesting.” Padilla Endorses Mass Demonstrations Amid National Guard Deployment Senator Padilla—a staunch ally of Joe Biden and Gavin Newsom—told MSNBC viewers to keep up pressure on federal immigration enforcement, urging demonstrators to continue protesting despite escalating violence in LA. “Protest peacefully, but please keep protesting,” Padilla said, as the city burned and law enforcement braced for more Molotov cocktails and freeway takeovers. His comments were a direct rebuke of Trump’s immigration crackdown, which saw ICE arrest over 100 illegal immigrants with outstanding deportation orders—sparking the current wave of protests that rapidly turned violent. City in Turmoil, Leaders Cheer On the Mayhem The timing couldn’t be worse. As National Guard troops patrol downtown Los Angeles, and violent protesters torch self-driving cars, the state’s top officials are openly siding with the agitators. Instead of restoring order, Senator Padilla is encouraging more unrest, echoing a dangerous trend seen among far-left Democrats nationwide. CALL TO ACTION NATIONWIDE EMERGENCY PROTEST – ALL 50 STATES Sunday June 9th – 12 pm Local We Demand : End military deployments against protest Protect First Amendment rights Halt regime kidnappings No martial law under guise of security pic.twitter.com/CyLQX5glif — LokiVanLodenaken (@vonLodricksburg) June 8, 2025 Meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass are busy blaming Trump rather than the criminals who turned protests into riots. Where is the leadership? While conservatives demand law and order, Democrats are cheering from the sidelines as cities crumble. A Stark Contrast Between Parties on Immigration and Public Safety Padilla’s plea to “keep protesting” highlights just how radically out of touch the Democrat Party has become on immigration and public safety. Republicans are demanding secure borders and enforcement of existing laws. Democrats? They’re backing mobs in the street and slamming the National Guard for trying to stop the chaos. Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) demands nationwide anti-ICE protests. "We are going to rise to this moment by being out there on the streets." Let’s stoke the fire shall we? pic.twitter.com/gxBkPI5iFy — jet (@jet50311101) June 9, 2025 The political message couldn’t be clearer: the Left is siding with illegal immigrants over American sovereignty and safety.
