Victor Davis Hanson [Confronts] Gavin Newsom's Political Career

 Townhall


"Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom has been whining about President Trump deploying the National Guard and the Marines to Los Angeles to quell the unrest. He says it wasn’t necessary, even daring the administration to arrest him. Newsom has been at the forefront of trying to walk this waffled line that the riots in LA are peaceful, but there's also lots of mayhem so don’t take Trump’s bait or something. He doesn’t know what to say or do, which explains how LA has already been set on fire twice this year."
 

Why are Democrats choosing war?  "The Democrat Party’s plan to block the Trump administration from deporting illegal aliens is an act of desperation because Democrats know the opportunity to block him at the district court-level soon will end. Chief Justice Roberts certainly must realize how damaging the bizarre barrage of unconstitutional orders from 677 district judges are. These judges reduce the esteem of the judicial branch of government every time they issue an unprecedented edict, such as demanding the military turn a plane around in midair.
"On Roberts’ watch, approval of the Supreme Court has fallen from a peak of 58% in 2020 to 44% in 2024, according to Gallup. It is a simple matter of logic that you cannot continue to make unpopular decisions and remain popular. Few things are as unpopular as blocking the deportation of illegal aliens who also are violent criminals.
"But, that’s where we are. Democrats are trying to ignite an insurrection by greeting ICE with protests and an occasional brick."   
In Texas and Florida, ICE does its work unimpeded by governors who realize Americans want mass deportations. Democrats chose war. If they were smart, they would already regret it.
