Kamala Harris condemns National Guard deployment, claims LA riots are ‘overwhelmingly peaceful’
Former Vice President Kamala Harris blasted President Donald Trump's order to deploy the National Guard to Los Angeles, saying she is "appalled" by the "dangerous escalation" from the president.
In a statement, Harris said the deployment, which was initiated on Saturday night, is "part of the Trump Administration's cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division."
"Los Angeles is my home. And like so many Americans, I am appalled at what we are seeing on the streets of our city. Deploying the National Guard is a dangerous escalation meant to provoke chaos," she said.
Harris, however, claimed that the riots in Los Angeles, which have seen protesters targeting law enforcement officers with stones, Molotov cocktails, and improvised explosive devices, have been "overwhelmingly peaceful."
