WATCH: AOC says President Donald Trump to blame for the anti-ICE riots in LA
In a recent interview with Fox News Digital, progressive leader Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pointed the blame at President Donald Trump for the ongoing immigration riots in Los Angeles, stating that he is “creating this chaos” and that the Trump administration is responsible for the unrest.
Ocasio-Cortez accused Trump and Homeland Security advisor Stephen Miller of deliberately sowing chaos and stoking unrest throughout the country. She criticized Trump’s aggressive actions and intentional provocation as the root cause of the violent clashes between anti-ICE protesters and law enforcement in Los Angeles.
The riots in Los Angeles erupted in response to ICE operations in the city, leading to widespread violence, looting, and clashes with authorities. Trump responded by deploying 2,000 National Guard members and hundreds of Marines to assist local law enforcement in quelling the unrest.
As a prominent figure in the Democratic Party and a potential future presidential candidate, Ocasio-Cortez called for accountability from the Trump administration for what she described as intentionally stoking unrest. She emphasized that Trump’s actions, such as raiding schools and ripping children from their parents’ arms, were fueling social chaos.
Ocasio-Cortez criticized the administration for creating chaos and then shifting the blame onto others who are not in power. She argued that leaders who are responsible for creating the chaos should be held accountable for their actions.
Earlier in the week, Ocasio-Cortez took to social media to downplay the rioting in Los Angeles, stating that Democrats should not have to answer for every act of violence by protesters. She warned against falling into a trap set by Republicans by trying to explain the reasons behind the riots.
In conclusion, Ocasio-Cortez called for accountability from the Trump administration and emphasized the need to hold leaders responsible for intentionally creating chaos and unrest. The ongoing immigration riots in Los Angeles serve as a stark reminder of the challenges facing the country and the importance of addressing the root causes of social unrest.
